Gardening, writing haiku, water aerobics, succulants, the state of the world, mi familia, cooking and (more important) eating.
William Morris, Jimmy Carter, people with different backgrounds than me, people passionate about what they do.
Musically illiterate/chameleon. I love it but never have had the interest to learn names of songs, bands, musicians. All music sounds good in an appropriate venue. I liked driving with Tony in the "Beast" listening to the Beastie Boys, windows down, towering over the road. Listening to Opera performed by my friend Piper under the night sky of Santa Fe, good stuff. An early crush's love of Phantom of the Opera First Boyfriend's enjoyment of playing Eagles and Indigo Girls on the guitar... My husbands enjoyment of Rush... I also like listening to Neil Diamond or the Art of Noise while driving with my Dad. For every season....

Northern Exposure , West Wing, and Neat. I also just saw a funny show Ed vs Spencer on the BBC America: a thirty minute show that made me laugh out loud, plus they showed one of the guy's willies! Wow, never in America. God Bless the Queen.
Watership down. Wisdom of Insecurities. My Friend the Monster. Mandy. The Animal Family.
My dad: he works hard and takes risks. He lives life fully and richly, loves his family, knows he is human, has screwed up and survived his own faults. He is a Silver Beaver Boyscout :-)
