Writing, playing bass, baseball, movies (theater or DVD), comics, music with feeling, contemporary lit with a dark sense of humor, outdoors, a hot cup of joe (not, not Joe...) people watching, playing with animals, imagining the chaotic, deconstrucing Harry, reconstructing Mary, the unique, the intelligent, the little things that make life more interesting, anything that makes me laugh, philosophy, and surprises. And cake. Golly, I do love moist cake.
