Music and teaching music. Taking Uly and Diamond for walks, cooking hamburger salad with Joce, visiting with friends...I am so fortunate to have such good and close friends.

My favorite movie is "The Cell" with J-Lo and Vincent D'Onofrio. It was visually and imaginatively stunning. I also really like "Old School". It was.....funny. But Basket Case 2 is by far the best movie I have ever seen. Although I get Basket Case 2 and 3 mixed up sometimes. It's the one with the waterbed and the two naked girls.
I never used to watch t.v. but this past season I got hooked on a bunch of shows. The Office, Grey's Anatomy, and Lost. American Idol is also a guilty pleasure. My t.v. is evil, it completely monopolizes all of my time. Update: Add October Road to the ever growing list.
I love self help books! Lately, I spend most of my time reading teaching books and curriculum guides. I also like stuff about China.
Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, John Darnielle, Prince. Oh...and Cesar the dog whisperer.
