URBANITY AND HUMANITY - aka anything to do with urban planning, urban design, environmental planning, economic development, historic preservation, the list goes on .....................................................................
WATER -- aka kayaking, sailing, drinking, rowing, swimming, the ocean, or just watching it swirl around .....................................................................
SEDENTARY STUFF -- aka reading, writing, contemplating dust motes in the sunbeams, movies, listening to music, putting my face in the sun, hanging with my cat, hanging with my dad .....................................................................
ACTIVE STUFF -- aka all that water stuff above, hiking, hanging with my dog, hanging with my mom. When I decide to work out, I really get into that too. However, I'm something of a binge exerciser -- I overdo it for a while with long dry spells in between.

A year ago I actually dared to come up with a top ten. I don't know about you but it is really, really hard to rank any kind of art form .....................................................................
Given the above disclaimer: Amelie, The Usual Suspects, Blade Runner, American Beauty, Fantasia, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The City of Lost Children, Fight Club, Reservoir Dogs, Sense and Sensibility .....................................................................
There are MANY others that could have just as easily made it to my top ten but this is my answer and I'm sticking to it.

Someday, I'll be done with school and I can read for pleasure again. Alas...

The next books I will be reading include The Name of the Rose, The Brothers Karamozov, The Kite Runner -- And of course some good, fluffy chick-lit (I can't resist!).
Heroes

To see the world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
