Traveller's Interests
General
Jazz, sailing, theatre, architecture, sculpture, philosophy, German and SEC football (go UGA). I am a romantic and too idealistic, but at least I know my faults. I work hard but love my time away from work. I enjoy everything from fine dining to local pubs and cafes. I travel frequently for enjoyment but AL is my home base. I love my community. It is a vibrant and livable Southern city that began over a hundred years ago when an adventurous group of people sought their own utopia. The beach is near and dear (love it especially in the off-season) but the mountains make me feel more free and renewed. I am a supporter of the arts, theatre and music.
Music
Bill Evans, Metheny, Yellow Jackets, Noel Freidline, Jobim, Skye, Eliane Elias and Miles. Local musicians Jeannie Perkins (Grand Hotel),John Wynn (Mateers) and Roman Street.
Movies
Grosse Pointe Blank, About a Boy, Something's Gotta Give, Kate and Leopold, The Bourne Identity, Stranger than Fiction.
Television
Deutsche-Welle, The Unit, PainKiller Jane, Burn Notice, The New Dr Who

Traveller, Thanks for the "add". It is good to see someone from Fairhope. What a beautiful place! I would send a message, but your space is set for "away" and can't get a message in. Please let me know if you lift that. Sandy
Hola! Thanks; summer's been OK, in spite of the weather. Can't complain, I got to do what I like doing best: nothing! :-) I did need time to rest this year... And you? Back to work? V.
Hey, I ran into Pat Riley and his wife at Mezzaluna Friday night and Pat said he had tried to call you and asked about you. I told him you were probably taking the class at Oxford last week.
Dear Brian !
just thinking about you, because I will spend next weekend at Basel Switzerland and I wish you could as well.
Have a nice weekend !

I don't have any plans to visit Panama - I recieved the add from the the lady marketing Panama. I will ask Terry for his email address because I don't have it either. I went to the Rolex 24 hours race in Daytona this past Saturday which was fun. I'll post some photos.
;-) That is a hilarious shirt! Also, the RUF at Texas A&M printed a "Calvin is my homeboy" shirt. I may venture into more humerous items in the future ;-).
