Music (playing and listening), photography, digital video editing, graphic design (Adobe Creative Suite rocks!), and all the creative stuff is proudly done on a Mac. I like to travel as much as possible, play mandolin, harp, squeezebox, flutes of different kinds, sax. Performing at ren faires, pirate festivals, weddings, etc.
New like-minded friends! Good people, kind friends, folkies, musicians, rennies, people who like music and dance, folks with no other agenda than wanting to be friends.

Nope. Once every few months I might see an episode of "Monk" or "CSI" if it happens to be on where I am. I only turn my TV on so that I can use the DVD or VCR, and that's as seldom as watching a show.
Virtually anything by Charles de Lint. If you think you would like stories of the Fae or the Supernatural, completely overlapped with life in a large, seemingly impersonal city, and then finding out that the things you thought that you couldn't see have an unending interest in your life, then Charles de Lint is the author to try. Let me know what you think after you try one. "Tapping the Dream Tree" is a good short-story book, "Memory and Dream" is a good novel to start with. What is especially good about his writing is his recurring cast of characters and the imaginary, dirty, but magical city of Newford, all of which play a part in most of his better books. After you've read a couple, you might begin to think that you know your way around Newford as well as his characters do.
