My wife, my family. Music. Cats. Avocados and peaches.

Music can send me. Play Barber's Adagio and I'm gone for hours. Play Copeland and I'm goofy all day. Turn on the classic rock station and then just leave the radio alone, man.

Reading biographies is good whether I'm grooving along ok or in the pit.

I'm fortunate in a lot of ways. Being able to enjoy things from time to time is one of them.
