There's plenty of my career elsewhere. Here I want to talk about a few of the things dear to me.

A few things are obvious. My family and close friends are dear to me. My own integrity and values are dear to me. This is not the place to discuss these most personal items. But some less personal items are worth noting.

I love nature. I love the serenity of trees and bushes. I love hearing the crickets play their symphony in the tall grass and watching the lightening bugs dance across our lawn at night. I love feeling the sun on my face and seeing the stars at night. I love carving paths through our growing forest with my lawn tractor. (That's right, just mow down some trees!)

I love food. Cheesecake (especially pumpkin cheesecake!), baklava, pumpkin pie, apple betty, ice cream with fresh fruit...these are the things that life is made of.

I love music, almost any kind. But I love best classic rock and modern country. The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Styx, Boston, Pam Tillis, ELO, Elvis Costello, the Roxettes, Pierre Bertrand, Rush, Randy Travis, CCR, Billy Joel, Springsteen, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Farmers Daughter, Prairie Oyster, Don Henley, and lots more.

My favorite movies are The Music Man, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Gandhi, It's a Wonderful Life and The Matrix series. But I also love Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and Carmen On Ice.

It is also worth noting that we now have blogs and social bookmarking for clients and stuff we like all over the Internet. Check these out:
