detroit tigers baseball, youtube, cooking period dishes like meatloaf and brandied chicken, ironing, reading the dearborn times-herald police blotter, playing battlefield (a.k.a. pow-pow), travelling (though it doesn't happen often), surfing the web, enjoying a coney dog followed by rice pudding, also oysters, chinese food, sushi, grilled cheese and beers at the bronx (not necessarily in that order), one-of-a-kind burger joints, hanging out with my friends, watching exceptional films, listening to both good and bad music, loitering in bookstores, attending art openings and various social functions, doing the odd modeling job, drinking johnnie walker black on the rocks, obsessing over the proportions and detailing of obscure european cars, quoting random dialogue from my favorite films (annoying my friends in the process -- sorry about that), walking along the railroad tracks at dusk, indulging in a relaxation audio program developed by the california department of mental health, etc.
