Progressive ideas, alternative energy, recycling, live music, art, NPR (please make your contribution today), bargain shopping, cleaning (yes, I like to vacuum), international cuisine - actually, any cuisine, travelling (without flying), road trips in the camper...preferably long ones, good beer, good coffee...and lots of it. Can't forget to mention my dear friend, the cigarette...which has become an interest which only occupies my mind...alas, I miss you, and will love you forever. However...if the price of a pack drops back down to only $175.00, I might reconsider. Myspace Backgrounds

I have to admit, my television has amazing powers of pursuasion...but I haven't been able to sit in front of the tube lately. And if I do get the opportunity, one of the 36 versions of Law and Order is always on. Not a big fan. If I could make Law and Order disappear, I'd watch Scrubs, Conan O'Brien, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, The Dog Whisperer (my hero).
