I have always loved climbing into a fast roadster and spending a few hours driving on winding mountain roads... the exhaust note, wind in the hair and the sheer exhilaration are absolutely addicting.

Exotic sourdough cultures fascinate me.

I love my Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker, which makes the best turkey you've ever tasted!

My tastes are eclectic, although Chicago Blues (particularly Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, BB King...) has always been number one on my chart. I'm fond of Celtic sounds, particularly Davy Spillane, and "New Country" from the early 90s. Opera and classical music pretty well rounds it out... I'm not big on jazz, although the mellow sounds I call "late night necking music" still move me.

• My Fair Lady (YAY Audrey Hepburn!)
• The African Queen
• Night at the Opera (Marx Brothers)
• Godfather I and II
• Casablanca
• Battle of Britain
• Dirty Harry (and almost everything else Clint Eastwood has done)
• Goodfellas

Wow! After watching TV for nearly 60 years, I'm not even going to TRY to cover anything but highlights! The Oldies: Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, George & Gracie Burns, Honeymooners, Gleason, Mash... More current: I think Sopranos was the best TV has had to offer, enjoy Dexter, too... The CSI's, which requires suspending belief in reality for the duration, Law & Order...FoxNews *and* CNN..

Robert Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" and "Time Enough for Love" top my Sci-Fi list, and Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game" is right up there. I'm a big Ludlum fan, too. "The Hiram Key" fascinated me, and I recommend it to anyone wanted their mind bent.
