One of my favorite hobbies is magic. Really good sleight of hand to watch and perform, as I am still a semi-professional magician. I also like to watch all the major sporting events.And, I do have a passion for cars. I love the classics and am looking to add more to my collection of three. And for a guy, I am not afraid to say I like to shop. You know the saying, "The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys."

I do like quality writing in movies, wheter it is a comedy like the Marx Brothers, (remember them) or a thriller like Hunt for Red October. I am a Bond fan and good sci-fi is always fun to watch. I really liked the latest Zodiac movie and even the last Bourne movie. Chick flicks are o.k., of course, with the right chick.

I listen to just about all kinds of music. I think XM radio is the greatest invention lately. Not too much on my iPod and Zune. But I do like to listen to top 40 Kanye West and even Jazz Classics. Sinatra when it is appropriate etc. I am a former musician so I really do appreciate music and other musicians.

I obviously like the Boston sports teams, especially the Celtics. Probably becuase I grew up with a winning tradition. I also love the Pats and Sox, but have a warm sport for the Green. And anyone who is a Celts fan is a friend of mine. Nothing really bothers me, I do like anticipating new things and new people. I like lookinf forward to new things. I enjoy new foods and always learning about the past and the future. Liking people in general is a great attitude I try to have.

What I don't like is laziness. You can be a great person and very affable, but if you just think of yourself and only do enough to get by, well, I really have a dislike for that. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks is my motto and I don't let too much bother me or get under the category of "dislikes."
