i dislike carbonated beverages, chocolate (with a growing number of exceptions), assigned writing, logorrhea, and living where i can't see the stars;
i like bacon, avocados, vermont, brownie sundaes (see above), sleeping (especially in the bitter cold with several heavy blankets), kung-fu movies, and romantic comedies (or any combination there-of), ny times crossword, sudoku, fruity beverages, the color blue, fresh water swimming, Original Tommy's chili cheeseburgers, being contrary, puppies (of all age), seedless fruit, waterfalls, roller coasters, fireworks and lightning.
i eat more slowly than anyone else i know, i exhibit eternal patience, i have traveled to five of the seven continents, i can resist everything except temptation;
