Movies:

The Notebook, Gone With The Wind, The Way We Were, To Sir With Love, Sweet Home Alabama, The Family Stone, Star Wars series, Cast Away, The Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan, The Terminal, Forrest Gump, Philadelphia, Apollo 13, The Godfather series, just about every Disney movie out there, Monsters Inc., Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory and The Wizard of Oz. There are so many and my memory is starting to crack.

Television:

House, Grey's Anatomy, Men In Trees, Heroes, Survivor, Medium, Ghost Whisperer, The Unit, One Tree Hill, The Sopranos, and Weeds. I also enjoy watching nature shows and The Food Network, DYI, Dirty Jobs and I think its called, The Most Dangerous Job or something to that effect.

Books:

My current favorite author is Nicholas Sparks but I also enjoy the Lord of the Rings series and Harry Potter and other fantasies; love the classics and reading poetry, autobiographies, books on Native American History and Norse Mythology.

Heroes:



Jesus Christ of course and Sister Teresa, Pope John Paul and so many other famous people but my biggest hero was my Mom. Coming to America at 20 years old on a ship with $50 in her pocket, barely able to speak English. She met my father in Brooklyn, NY and made a life here, brought four children into the world and instilled us with good values. She died after being married to my father for 45 years and a very hard battle with breast cancer. I hope I've made her proud.
