Traveling when I have the money. Traveling when I don't. Walking the streets of NYC and Brook-a-leen. Napping on the beach. Sitting down to a good book, or some good tunes. Tea! Endless amounts of Turner Classic Movies. Night skies. Old New York. Drawing when I am not feeling terribly lazy. Poorly done daytime TV commercials.
