Live music, running with my shirt off, frisbee golf, tennis, reading in the hot tub, hiking at Yosemite (new favorite: below Nevada Falls, above Vernal Falls by the Mist Trail), camping at Yosemite or elsewhere, watching baseball (especially on $1 beer night... Thirsty Thursday at Grizzlies Stadium - good thing it's only through 5 innings), trips to see family and friends, the beach...
but right now, it's all about collecting foil, chasing mice, scratching carpets and couches, peeing where I shouldn't.
I love my two kitties, the Geek and Shlop!
!!
Oh, and Devoe too. She's okay.
People with good hearts... and famous people. You know, not Fresno Famous, but people who are internationally known, or at least known to rock the microphone.
These folks will do: Seth McFarland, Dan Castellaneta, Jon Stewart, Bill Clinton(again. this time, preferably at MY desk), Audrey Tautou(I have a crush on the descendant of Jesus), John Cusack, Miguel de Cervantes, Don Mattingly, Noah(we're related I think), Dan Brown, Peter Jennings(we shall meet again), John Moores, William Shakespeare, Steven Levitt, Zach Braff, Kevin Smith, Rosario Dawson, Jenna Fischer...
My tastes vary pretty widely, but it all begins with Blue October. You may hate me if you like(you can also try to find me in the audience):

My DirecTV is broken and I'm leaning towards never fixing it, but here's what I said before that happened:
"If it weren't for TiVo, I'd only watch baseball. But I currently like The Office, Scrubs...
My Name Is Earl, Lost, The Daily Show, Monk, Family Guy, and Extras."
And OK, I watch Grey's Anatomy now ..... blame Mamie.
