drawing, photography, reading, fishing, relaxing on a boat, going swimming on warm summer nights, thunderstorms, having a drink with friends after a long day, iced Chai, hot teas, scented candles, dragons, gargoyles, my cat: Ra, writing, chinese food, green mint chocolate chip ice cream, cheese and wine, curling up on the couch watching movies, working out and playing racketball with friends, Japanese art, white roses, sunflowers, people that love me for me, the smell of impending rain, sunsets, sunrises (especially in the boat on the water in the Rigolets and Delacroix), meteor showers, cold chianti, gardening, the smell of fresh cut grass, walking barefoot in that grass (i'm a hobbit at heart), living in the country, rocking on my front porch wrapped in a blanket on a fall morning and .................silence...............
I'd like to meet:
J. R. R. Tolkien, Orson Scott Card, Stephen King, people that inspire me, people that amaze me, people that humble me, people that make me smile.
