CLASSIC MOVIES
I am a big fan of old movies of all kinds, but especially film noir and westerns.
READING
Here again, I prefer the classics. My favorite authors are Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Charles Dickens, and Mark Twain.
WALKING
I may have to force myself to go to the gym, but I'm always up for a good walk.
