Photography, good food & wine, power tools, trapeze, fishing, sea and mountains, extraordinarily good parties, rare breed chickens, pottery and meeting interesting people. More variety. More fun...
People who have something interesting to offer.
It's been said there are only two types of music - good music and bad music - I like to think I like good music. Not everyone agrees... So much out there, but off the top of my head today: from Johnny Cash, Bobby Bland, Trojans, Lee Scratch Perry, Ali Farka Toure, Rodrigo & Gabriela, Roberta Flack, Peggy Lee, Neville Brothers, Barry White, Gil Gilberto to more...
Camera Obscura, The Secret of Santa Vittoria, Natural Born Killers, Kind Hearts and Coronets, just saw Pan's Labyrinth and loved it. And onwards... Waking Ned, American Beauty, Rear Window, La Fille sur La Pont. God, I'm writing this on Sunday morning - so many movies for so many moments, so difficult to choose. Sunset Boulevard...
