I love to scuba dive when i am near a body of water. I like to play mah jong with Mrs. Klein. I like painting rooms in my house over and over partly because i am indecisive and partly because i love to paint things. I love chocolate and tea and sweet wines. I collect old books and can't seem to stop. I love my family in all the forms they take. I could be mistaken for a book nerd or a daydreamer. My favorite time of the day is early early morning or late in the evening when the air starts to chill. I hate disloyalty and black licorice. I love expensive shoes and cheap sunglasses. I love to sit at my dining room table text and cool new Alcalay and Zilberman Hebrew dictionaries in hand and translate. Again 'cause I'm so hip.
Wislawa Szymborska, I.B. Singer, Theodore Herzl, Norman Mailer, Leo Hirschfield- the guy who invented the tootsie roll, Ayn Rand, and Edna Reynolds. It would be pretty cool to meet Jerry Garcia to if he was sober. Yes, I am aware with the exception of one, they are all dead. Just my luck.
The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff
"You complain that your tree is not valuable as lumber. But you make use of the shade it provides, rest under its sheltering branches, and stroll beneath it, admiring its character and appearance. Since it would not be endangered by an axe, what could threaten its existence? It is useless to you only because you want to make it into something else and do not use it in its proper way."
