Music, Movies, and Books

Pretty much all types of music from country and oldies to jazz and classical and classic rock. I love a variety of movies but my all time favorite is scifi. And my all time favorite of scifi is when they time travel. I love to read. And when I read, I like to read to get out of the troubles of the every day life. So, I try to read about fantasy or science fiction.
