What I enjoy:
- The obvious – Spending time with family and friends.
- Good food. A spicy Thai meal.
- A good movie (partial to thrillers and comedies).

- Taking in a musical on Broadway.
- Learning new stuff dealing with technology. What a time to be alive.
What I do not enjoy:
- Schmoozing – Do it sometimes because I have to.
- Grading – Do it all the time because I have to.
- Working out – it is too much work. Do it sometimes because I … (you got it).
