Hi! I grew up in the Twin Cities, but I consider myself to be citified small town country. Radio has taken me to northern Iowa and southern Minnesota. I am married to a great guy and we have 3 cats (or maybe they have us, we're not sure)! I volunteer with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Healthy Seniors and the local food shelf. I also try to give a bit to the Humane Society. Reading, Quilting and Sudoku are a few of my hobbies. Sports are cool too! I enjoy playing golf (the real kind, not video) and listen to or watch most of the rest...especially baseball. Go Twins!

Lisa’s Logic: Time to Change That Password
It seems it's a password-happy world. We are not happy about it, but it seems passwords are needed to get into anything and everything. Even some cars have number passwords.
