What is your favorite ...

Movie: just to name a few: Unforgiven, Field of Dreams, Caddyshack, Shawshank Redemption

Movie Quote: 'Hey Dad...you wanna have a catch?' Field of Dreams
'We're gonna need a bigger boat' - Jaws

Book: Stephen King 'It'

Band: Rush

Sports Teams Besides FFC; Angels, Seahawks, Blazers, Arizona Wildcats in any sport.

Meal; steak, roasted red potatoes, corn on the cob, and a glass of Cab

Beach or Mountains: I choose skiing half-day, and being able to get to the beach in time for sunset and a bonfire (Southern California does have its advantages )

 

book Once an Eagle, by Anton Myrer, it's on the Plebe reading list for West Point cadets, and it vividly paints how people are drawn to the military way of life, what kind of mindset makes the best leaders, and the main character has a foil throughout his whole career who is interested more in his own betterment and how to use his position for personal gain. I recommend it to any young man or woman, military or civilian.

recording artist Springsteen, hands down. I like his music as much at age 39 as I did when I was 15. It's comforting to know my teenaged mind picked an enduring winner, even if I don't agree with some of what he says now.

Sports team, American division The Pittsburgh Steelers. My Dad is a big fan, and they won 4 Super Bowls by the time I was 11 years old! When they won it again in 2005 I apprecfiated it a lot more. And I like their physical style of ball on the field, and how the Rooneys do business off the field

movies A few in no particular order -- Million Dollar Baby, Caddyshack (You'll get nothing and like it!!), Animal House, Breakfast at Tiffany's (Audrey Hepburn in her day was the most beautiful woman ever to grace a screen with her presence. Period), Saving Private Ryan, and Forrest Gump.

 

Also have to add the original version of 'Sabrina' as a recommendation for any Hepburn admirers
