The big three: Music, Movies, and Food. Good Music, Good Movies, and Good Food, to be more/less specific. I like the outdoors a lot, especially the mountains and the ocean. I don't ski on either, but I've tried. I have a weakness for women in white pants. I really like the South West, especially New Mexico, and I'm getting to know Europe one principality at a time. Other, more tangeable interests: I like filmmaking, drumming, writing, dogs, farms, family, thunderstorms, Scotch, iced tea, bacon, blue cheese, BBQ, bourbon, burros, blacksmithing, the letter B, wordplay, assgames, cribbage, trial by stone, Waffle House, roadtrips, squash, sushi, deep-frying, gun-totin', and rugmunchin'
