music, literature, movies, roller-skating, running, roller-blading, Barbies, bicycles, boxing, the Broncos, school (I love school), Denver, pink things, staying home, expensive beauty products, Michael Vick, the Chicago Bears, toys made for kids much younger than I, my iMac, black tea, morning workouts and big breakfasts, copy-editing, anything that has to do with Wild West history
Hold tight. Count to three. Gotta stay close by me. And hold tight. Sing and shout. Just ride my roundabout. And hold tight. Shut your eyes. Girl you suit me for size. Forget the other guys! You'll never fall each time you call, "Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight..." Hold tight. Make me feel what you say is for real. And hold tight. Carousel. Girl, you'll soon ring my bell. And hold tight. We will fly, swinging low, swinging high. We're gonna reach the sky! You'll never fall each time you call, "Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight..."
Music to make love to your old lady by
Dr. Strangelove, spaghetti westerns, Annie Hall, Singles, Woman Under the Influence, Ronin, All About Eve, The Godfather trilogy, or anything that ends with a slow clap and a re-vamped geek who tried to be cool, but learned that being yourself is what REALLY makes you cool
The Weather Channel, Law and Order re-runs, Monday Night Football (which I love to the point that I resent other days of the week)
The Chicago Manual of Style, Grammar by Diagram (yes!)
Constance Weaver, Lynne Truss, Diana Hacker, and high modernists
