Interests

InterestsFamily, friends, music, men, good food, good conversation, good coffee, men, live performance (that isn't an attack my eardrums), travel, reading -- did I remember to say "men"?
MusicClassical music is my first love (I was a violinist in my youth), including symphonic and chamber music, opera and other classical voice, followed by 50s/60s/70s pop/rock/disco music. Also Broadway, from Rodgers and Hart (1920s), Cole Porter and the Gershwin brothers, to Stephen Schwartz, Stephen Sondheim, Jason Robert Brown and other current Broadway composers. Please note that my list DOES NOT include Andrew Lloyd Webber! If I listen to his music, it's because there was nothing else available.
MoviesAnything with great writing -- "A Man for All Seasons," "Becket," "Shakespeare in Love," "Schindler's List." Also any movie musical from the 30s to the present, including Fred and Ginger, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Kathryn Grayson, Ethel Merman and others.
TelevisionAgain, good writing -- House, The Goodwife, Brothers and Sisters, The Pretender, The Mentalist, the original NCIS and Stargate series, most PBS programming, Carol Burnett reruns
BooksAnything on the fantasy side of sci-fi - Mercedes Lackey, Anne McCaffrey (and son Todd), Jim Butcher, the Harry Potter and Narnia books, J.R.R. Tolkien and others. The historical fiction of Steve Berry (I've read ALL his books!).
