Everything, mostly. I'm intensely curious about just about everything.
Music
It would take too long to list all my favorites. I have an eclectic ear. These days it's a lot of Celtic, Trad., Rock, Fusion interspersed with some Mahler and some Schonberg. I listen to a lot of Tempest, some Carlos Nakai mostly his Nakai Quartet stuff, a little Jethro Tull and a generous dash of Mana.
Movies
OK, Movies. Yeah, that's a lot like music. To keep it short and simple, I'm always up for Classic Comedy: anything by the Marx Brothers, Mel Brooks, and special mention to Some Like It Hot and Arsenic and Old Lace.
Television
Everything I like winds up getting cancelled so I'm pretty much down to This Old House and televised Flyers Games.
Books
I read omniverously. I usually have three books going at the same time; my bedside book, my downstairs book and the book I keep in the glove box for traffic jams.
Heroes
My maternal grandmother, Mary Ann Dillon Rockett, Jacques Cousteu, William Shakespeare, My Dad, Bill Shaffer and everybody out there who goes ahead and follows their bliss and make their dreams real no matter how many people tell them they can't. God Bless the USMC!

About me: Feasting, frivolity,trading lies with my old friends about how great we were way back when and how we're still as good as we ever were,cats and kittens, crows, horses, dogs, making "music" with my old friends, January sunsets, birthday cake, rainbow moonstones, Tempest, Tull, Richard Thompson, young men's first beards,teddybears, making teddy bears, dancing wildly and giddily for the sheer joy of it, the Pipes (all varieties), feeding my friends, the Philadelphia Folk Festival,Philadelphia, New York, Fenwick Island, Los Angeles, West Conshohocken, Thousand Oaks, Cazenovia, that bunch of old friends I lie with, sing with,dance with and feed,lasagna, chocolate cake, chocolate, a good bracing cup of tea, ice hockey, watching Badger make a knife, snow and Morganna the store cat at Mystikal Tymes and Percy the store cat at The Crystal Fox;
just a short list of the people, places and things that I love best.
A total princess and diva, you're totally in charge - even if people don't know it.
You want to be loved, adored, and worshiped. And you won't settle for anything less.
You're going to be a total star, and you won't let any of the "little people" get in your way.
Just remember, piggy, never eat more than you can lift!
Who I'd like to meet: Van Morrison and Antonio Banderas, in no particular order, though at the same time would be really distracting. Johnny Depp would be fun. If I can go historical, I'd love to meet Virginia Wolfe. Imagine sitting at a dinner table with Mother Mary Jones, Thomas Jefferson, Mark Twain, G. Gordon Liddy, Mae West and Hunter S. Thompson. Would that be cool or what?
Hi Got any birthday plans? Haven't said hi for ages!!! Been busy, doing a course for work, hibernating and getting bigger as expecting a little one in April, big surprise I can tell you! Hope you have a cool time? all the best Benita x
My favorite month: Samhain and leaves changing color, AND our Thanksgiving Day long weekend, which is upon me now. I am dropping off heartfelt thanks for the joy that is knowing you and being your friend.
October 31
Halloween (also known as Samhain Eve, Hallowmas, All
Hallow's Eve, All Saint's Eve, Festival of the Dead, and the Third
Festival of Harvest).
Every year on this day, the most important of the eight Witches'
Sabbats is celebrated by Wiccans throughout the world with traditional
Pagan feasts, bonfires, and rituals to honor the spirits of deceased
loved ones. The divinatory arts of scrying and rune-casting are
traditionally practiced by Wiccans on this magickal night, as in
standing before a mirror and making a secret wish.
The last night of October was the ancient Celt's New Year's Eve. It
marked the end of the Summer and the beginning of Winter (also known as
the dark half of the year).
In many parts of the world, special cakes and food are prepared for the
dead on this night.
In Ireland, a Halloween festival is celebrated annually for the ancient
Pagan goddess Tara.
This day is sacred to the goddesses Cerridwen, Eurydice, Hecate, Hel,
Inanna, Kali, the Morrigan, Nephthys, Oya, Samia, Sedna, Tara, and
Vanadis. On this day in the year 1970, the Parks Department of New York
granted the Witches International Craft Associates (W.I.C.A.) a permit
to hold a "Witch-in". The event was held in Sheep Meadow and more than
one thousand persons attended.
I've got a couple of lotto ticket irons in the fire this week, (I only buy 'em when the numbers are large) and trust me when I say if I come up winning... those stray Carcass hairs you sweep up off the patio will be more than paid for in laughs and tales. I'll even toss you a couple hundred grand, just for kicks! xo
Blue... maiden, mother, crone. I'm making the rounds to thank those who read my blogs and drop kudos even when I disable comments. I'm also basically gushing all over some of my favorite people here, and you are most certainly way up on that list. Have a splendiferous upcoming weekend and know that I'll raise a glass of wine in your name on Saturday. xo, Rick
Heh heh... welcome aboard, dear. I don't think I promote myself often enough, but that's a Canadian for ya!
