Two burning questions (and the answers) on many people's minds...

Q: How is my first name pronounced? A: I tell people, "ONYA, as in rhymes with lasagna." Or "Tanya without the T," or "Sonya without the S." It's the Gaelic (Irish) version of Anne, and although that's not exactly the way it should be pronounced, this seems to work best for most people. :-)
Q: How do you get the accent over my A, as in Á? A: There are two ways this can be done. In your word document (working from Microsoft word), go to "insert," "symbols," then choose "Times New Roman" and you will find the Á symbol to insert. The second way (which I usually use) is to hold down your "alt" button, and then press the following numbers on your number pad while holding down the alt button- 0193. 
Give it a try, it works! (For Mac users, do "shift A" with "option E".)

Now. A bit about my non-work life. When I'm not chained to my desk :-) I...

play badminton (one day I'll get my name on this list, I swear!)...
golf (finally broke 100 in 2011!)...
lift weights...
hike...
bike...

sea kayak...
bellydance (I have taken lessons at Belindance)
cross country ski...  
 

and when I remember, I do some yoga... 

Check out Yoga Journal 

for an EXCELLENT source of information about yoga. 

I also enjoy reading, dinner parties, watching independent films, traveling, and listening to music-- check out WOMAD (World of Music, Arts, and Dance) for information on great world music festivals held around the world, Echoes for wonderful relaxing music, and Stanfest, Lunenburg Folk Festival, and the Atlantic Jazz Festival for
fabulous local music festivals.
