Music, news/current events, pop culture, animals/wildlife and conservation/preservation, my dogs, iPods, CDs, singing/songwriting, meetin'/hangin' and getting to know cool people, and LAUGHING! I luv collecting lotsa crap like classic signs, Aunt Jemima, Poppin' Fresh, Disney stuff, Warner Bros/"Looney Tunes" stuff, old Fisher-Price toys, commercial aircraft models. School buses--I've loved 'em since the first one I saw: a 1964 Carpenter-body bus on a Ford chassis. I dig model trains and wanna set up a big layout someday. Luv TV-on-DVD (the whole season of some show on DVD), luv goofin' off, stayin' fit, workin' out when I can, bein' outdoors. C'mon...we can find SOMETHING to do!
