..Reading and writing. Gardening. Gourmet cooking. Almost any outdoor pursuit, particularly those involving speed, such as boating and snowmobiling.
..I'd love to network with other writers and readers.
..With the exception of opera singing *big shudder*, you name it, and I'll listen to it. I have a weakness for old rock, the louder the better. Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Janis Joplin, The Scorpions, Judas Priest, Springsteen, Boston, Bad Company, April Wine, Dr. Hook, The Eagles, The Who, Clapton, Lou Reed...then I might throw on a little Patsy Cline, Roy Orbison, ABBA, Bob Marley or Mavericks, just to keep things interesting.
..I love a good psychological thriller. Sometimes I'm in the mood for the sort of potty humor Rob Schneider and Jim Carey deliver. Sometimes a decent chick flick can make me go all soft and mushy inside. Put Johnny Depp, George Clooney or Denzel Washington in it, I'm there.
..I stay away from reality shows or soap style shows because I don't like feeling compelled to be a slave to a television at a certain day and time every week. When I do watch, I gravitate to crime shows, CSI, Law and Order, Criminal Minds. I also enjoy the caustic Dr. Gregory House.
..Wow, the list would be endless. Some favorite authors include. Stephen King, Anne Marie McDonald, Diana Gabaldon, Erica Orloff, Iris Johansen, James Patterson, Tami Hoag, Beth Ciotta, Sandra Brown, Paula Quinn, Mary Castillo, Janet Evanovich, Jennifer Crusie, J.A. Konrath, Sydney Sheldon, Nelson Demille...
