Running, reading, instruments of gliss, bikes, real estate economics (not kidding), fly fishing, Sailing, Scrabble, good scotch, good bars, cooking, working towards my Excel Jedi Trials - yes I really dig on Excel.
People that get it.
Everything (sans most country -Willie is excepted); Stones, Clash, Beethoven, DGQ, Cash, Cuban, Joni, Dead, Medeski, Beasties, opera, Miles, Waits, Dylan, Django, Nick Drake...it's a long list.
The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, Lawrence of Arabia, Rushmore, 16 Candles, nothing too esoteric but still has merit (e.g. eraserhead).
I remember television...but only during the Oscars, SOTU, NCAA tournament, Olympics, disasters, world cup, America's cup, six nations, giro de italia & tour de france, any F1 races - generally sports that aren't on American tv so much.
Too many to name but recently: The Death and Life of Great American Cities, Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead, Kavalier & Clay, The Corrections, The River Why (perennial favorite)
T.E. Lawrence, Jane Jacobs, Ernest Shackleton, Teddy Roosevelt, Jimmy Carter, Margaret Murie, Ted Williams
