Pittsburgh Steelers, video games, puzzles and games of all kinds, reading, track (I used to run middle distance and am still an avid follower of the sport), English soccer, most things technical/scientific. I like to be active walking, hiking, cycling etc especially in the mountains not that there are many round here. Cross country skiing is something I want to try. I like novel experiences and am open to trying anything new (except sushi and opera).
I'd like to meet:
Interesting people
Music:
Classical oldies from the 60's, light rock from the 70's 80's and 90's especially Moody Blues, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Police, Bread, Eagles, James Taylor, Harry Chapin, Petshop Boys and Cat Stevens. Vocals are more important to me than the music. With most current music I have trouble
hearing the vocals however I do like Green Day and Norah Jones. Heavy metal and rap I have little tolerance for

Anything Sci-fi (not horror) or animated. Decent action and mystery movies and comedies. I like a lot of the old mystery movies, for example the Thin Man series.

Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, Dr. Who, 4400, Angel, Charmed, Nova , Mythbusters, Military and History channels, Simpsons, Jimmy Neutron, Fairy Odd Parents, Kim Possible, Last Avitar, Grounded for Life, War at Home, Yes Dear, According to Jim, British Drama, CNN and of course football.
