Atlanta Braves baseball, reading, writing, journaling, fishing (though I may be the worst angler in the world), random road-trips, cooking on the grill, and watching high school sports.
My close friends for dinner and a nice glass of wine. The idea of it makes me smile.
I like a variety of music--from Paul Wall and Mike Jones to Death Cab for Cutie (thanks, Clark) to the flavorful Texas Country of folks like Kevin Fowler and the Randy Rogers Band. When I study I enjoy the likes of Johann Strauss II--specifically, Die Fledermaus (The Bat).
Lonesome Dove, Open Range, Malcolm X, and Man on Fire to name a few. Movies are playing an increasingly larger role in my spiritual pilgrimage.
The Today Show (no, really), CSI, Sports Center, Baseball Tonight (during the season, of course), and almost anything on the History or Discovery Channels.
Anything concerning religion, theology, biblical studies, anthropology (specifically, socio-cultural anthropology), and philosophy are my proverbial cup of tea.
(Forgive the soapbox) Has not this word lost meaning in this post-September 11th world? I think so. In my estimation, given the perspective that anyone can be--and potentially is--a hero then why bother mentioning those I hold in high regard. Frankly, the emptiness found in the noun 'hero' is far to small for these individuals.
