Music, especially seeing live bands...often, snowboarding, travelling (love to do tons of that), taking my skateboard down the bike path, art, animal enthusiast, cooking, martinis and fine wine, vintage cars (!!) and trolling flea markets for cool retro stuff, hiking, books, hockey (watching, not playing), boxing (also watching, not participating!) underwater basket weaving (kidding with that last one...if you thought I was serious, might as well stop reading now). I've tried surfing in Hawaii. Would love to try more of that. I like anything that makes me laugh or makes me think.
I'd rather say who I don't like to meet. I don't like people who are closed-minded, egotistical, racist, sexist, homophobic or any other kind of non-accepting behavior. Pretty much anyone else is cool with me. Oh, unless you are George Bush or a Celine Dion fan. In that case, go away.

I get caught up in anything about history or politics and HOCKEY. I try not to spend too much time in front of the boob tube. I'd rather be out in the real world.
I'm a bookaholic...don't even get me started. If I have to make one mention here, it would have to be Dostoevsky. And Stompin' Tom Connors' autobiography "Before the Fame" is a damn entertaining read.
My family. Especially my dad for knocking on Johnny Cash's door at the Bessborough hotel in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in the late 50s and getting him to come play at their school dance.
