Music, Movies, and Books
Watch movies in the theater whenever I can, prefer drama or mystery over any other genre. Listen to historical books on tape, rarely read novels, but if I do, I prefer mystery...read a lot of periodicals ...like wide variety of music from soft jazz to classic country to light r and b or rap.
