Running, baseball (go Padres!), hockey, travel, fashion (can you say "shopaholic"?), fine dining, wine tasting, vintage movies, and pets.
Fellow Caniacs and hockey fans, no matter where they live! Additionally, I'd also love to meet wise and witty people with a realistic view about themselves. (Sorry to sound rude, but I'll take a pass on "him-bos.")
I'm good with most genres, but I like jazz, "the standards," vintage R&B, '70s/'80s new wave, disco, and oldies best. Thanks to my learning classical guitar when I was a kid, I also enjoy classical music.
If it's a silent movie, a comedy from the '30s or '40s, or one of those so-bad-it's-good movies, I'm in! That said, I just saw "Sideways," which has marvelous direction and acting, and one of the best screenplays in years. The same can be said for "The Incredibles," definitely a witty, intelligent, shrewd cartoon meant for adults.
Tuesdays With Morrie, James Herriot's Cat Stories, Passages, Pathfinders, My War, The Greatest Generation, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Grapes of Wrath (and nearly every one of John Steinbeck's books), The Last Convertible, The Accidental Tourist, The Scarlet Letter, and Washington Square. I also love sports books, especially hockey (Ultimate Hockey, The Hockey Chronicles, amd The Red Wings), baseball (every annual Sporting News Scouting Report, the entire Baseball Memories series, We Played the Game, Ball Four, Green Cathedrals, Sandy Koufax, I Was Right on Time, Iron Horse, and Hank Greenberg: The Story of My Life), and basketball (Chick).
My dad and my mom (see the "About Me" section in my bio for more info). Sadly, I was never able to become their friend.
