Whirl With Merle  

Hello everyone. I'm here in New York City. When people ask if I'm from Queens I tell them, "No, my folks are straight".  I'm setting up to go "on the air" soon.  In NYC I "travel" to review Broadway shows, concerts, and other entertainment sources. I'm over 50 so don't expect a show about hip hop night spots. I love trying out different cuisines as I'm a foodie.

I have just about every type of cooking gadget so that I can make things from "scratch".  Gee...wouldn't it be great if we could invest in "scratch?"  

Music is my thing, too. I'll listen to most types but don't appreciate rap, hip hop or screaming sounds. As much as I like classical, I tend to avoid going to a concert as it puts me to sleep...really...it makes me nod off.  I'll deal with opera a few times...the ballet...at Lincoln Center.  Light rock, jazz, and particular singers.

Traveling takes me mainly around the US and Canada, although I'm looking to check out some of Europe next year.  

Oh yeah, I have an obsession with the New York Sharks women's tackle football team....so much that I recently assisted in forming the IWFL Women's Football Hall of Fame.

I'll also be talking about new products that I test out...including cars and household gadgets such as a yogurt maker.  My motto is "If I can do it, you can, too".
