I love anything related to music including: dancing, singing, singing in the rain, musical chairs, listening to and dissecting music, buying music, making music, watching music being made, ballets, symphonies, orchestras, operas, musicals, nightclubs, dance contests, watching performances on TV, choreographing, etc. Other than that, I'm into good wine and spirits, catching a movie or a flick, meeting new people in new places, travelling, skydiving, water sports, the occasional walk, etc: essentially, I'm a hedonist, voyeur, exhibitionist...I believe in living to extended limits, care to join me?

Paul Robeson, hands down. Despite all odds and everyone telling him that he could not do it, he DID EVERYTHING! He was a scholar, an athlete, an attorney, a thespian, an activist. They had to shut down his passport to stop him! On a more personal level, I give props to my moms for sticking in there...and I'll leave it at that.
