No!  Not those kinds of issues.  Stop reading NOW if you think I am coming unglued, off the hook or losing my marbles.  Now, where did that bag of cat’s eyes go?

I have issues around not having enough time to indulge in some of the things I truly love doing.  Here is a short, but not exhaustive list!  (I know you love lists!)

1. READING:  It is important to read.  You can read actual books or just browse the internet.  Any way you consume your reading, you are building your vocabulary and the repository of thought we call our brain.  Here are some good books I have read recently:

• Anathem by Neal Stephenson – Another 900 page masterpiece.
• Planet Simpson by Chris Turner – The story of a generation.  Mine!
• Bringing Down The House by Ben Mezrich – The movie 21 was based on this.
• Rigged by Ben Mezrich – Story of the founding of the Dubai mercantile exchange.

2.  RESEARCH:  Ok, I may be a little weird.  I think I am a typical geek.  According to my geek score, I am a “cool, modern geek”.  Take that cool kids from high school!!    Yes, I like to look stuff up and ask who, what, when, where, why and how for as long as I can.  I like to delve in to subjects that may bore “normal” people.  I ask for textbooks as Christmas and birthday gifts.  People know that if they get me a gift card at Chapters, that I will be VERY happy.

3.  PLAYING SPORTS:  I played college basketball and am now woefully out of shape.  I hate looking at my beer gut and not being able to dunk anymore.  It is quite depressing.  However!  I can get motivated to exercise, but that would cut in to time for #1 and #2!!  😉

In addition to the TOP 3, I love lots of other stuff that are usually the priorities for my time.  First, my daughter is the best.  I love to get down on the floor and play Barbie with her.  I know it may be corny, but it is for her, so I don’t care.  😛

The last thing I am getting to love is writing.  Again, I just have to make some time to make it happen and try to make it worth reading.

Let me know what you love doing, I am interested!

Stay interested and interesting!
