If I had my way, I'd shuffle off to Buffalo; Sit by the lake, and watch the world go by. Ladies in the sun, listenin' to the radio, Like flowers on the sand, a rainbow in my mind.Gardening...bicycling...reading...ballistics...history. ..political thought...technology...Linux the operating system...computer technology from x"00" to x"ff"...old tractors...railroads and railroading...ships, boats and maritime lore...traveling...fixing things...laughter...philosophy and theology...meditation...Hawaiian history and mythology and music...watching the world go by...peace!

Put a whole bunch here...and it didn't take...phooey....Well the movie I liked most recently was "Triplets of Belleville".And "finding Neverland" viewed New Year's Eve!
TV is disappointing, basically. If they gathered up all of the televison sets and dumped them into the sea I'd probably not notice for several days.
Books, yes, plenty of Books. Books on Trains, books on planes, books on ships, books on books for that matter. Books on How to do, and books on what not to do. Books on blacksmithing. Books on Poetry writing. Lost books of the Bible. Books on Zen. Childrens' Books because they are so creative. OZ! Books on Buckskinning! Books on Computing!Not much fiction right now but if one wants fiction, I'd suggest Patrick O'Brian's tales of Jack Aubrey. Used to like Science Fiction but I'm no longer an adolescent. Science fiction writers are excellent about writing outcomes that are improbable because there's no opposition to really silly ideas. But if you must do Science Fiction, then almost anything by Larry Niven. "Ringworld" is fantasy beyond belief."Out of the Silent Planet" by C. S. Lewis...And Tolkein? What can I say? The World of Arda is fascinating beyond belief and there's much to learn beyond the Trilogy. Who has tackled the Silmarilliion?Read Vladamir Nabokov's "Lolita" sometime. Not for the sexy parts because by today's standards there aren't any. Read if for the literary quality! You don't see that in today's pop lit! Betty McDonald's "The Egg and I" will fascinate you with how well it's written, and yes, Ma and Pa Kettle are in it!Strunk and White's "Elements of Style" is worth having for those budding would-be writers.
