Traveling, doing the extraordinary things (and the stupid), people who don't take themselves too seriously (and humorously listening to those who do), taking pictures (and leaving them), playing with cats (and dogs), building rock walls (not really into knocking them over), being outside (and hiding inside), lighting bonfires and fireworks (having to use a fire extinguisher), splitting my skin (getting stitches) and oh yeah...beer, wine and Bloody Mary's are an excellent accent to the above activities. Not sure if 'bloody mary' should be capitalized, but mine should be!water-skiing, wake-boarding, snow-skiing, snow-boarding, roller-blading (half pipe & street) soccer, hockey, rockclimbing, frisbee, mtn biking, cross-country wine tasting and couch-holder-downer.
