These are a few of my Favorite Things

The moment is now and maybe by the time I am done with these favorite things new ones will emerge but, this snapshot might make me laugh a few decades from now (or maybe not).

Some things go without saying and their omission is only an indication of their everlasting presence. They are the Fs in my life (Family, Friends and Food).

Now for the Fun:
- I am very much into Books. I mean, I am really into books, a little too obsessed with it in a way only I can become and just as rapidly un-become. If only I could turn this fad into a practical healthy leisure, but no, I let it take over my time, my shelves, my mind, my sleep ... it's all over me, into me and around me.

- Movies, Internet and all other forms of Media (and thinking of it Books are a part of it) are a source of information that continues to feed my curiosity.

- Politics. Now, that's a first !
I am sure I echo millions of others in this country that have only now awaken to this important facet of our life.
The reason for this new found interest is the set of characters now playing the field for presidential candidates: Hillary and Obama. We are staring history in the face and to be part of this exciting possibility is exhilarating.

- Blogs.
I was slow to catch up with this new form but now that I have, I am a loyal follower.

- Morocco.
Well, that might be cheating, if it was not for it starting with M, I would say it is one of those subjects that belongs with the Fs above, the ones that do not need to be mentioned. But, in truth this fav thing does show stronger signs now, probably triggered by the latest book I have been in bed with (no pun intended) - "In Arabian Nights "- Tahir Shah's latest and greatest work.

- Lost.
The TV series, not a state of being :-)
I am not into TV shows, I watch mostly CNN, Bill Maher and sporadic shows here and there but of this one I am a serious follower. I just dread having to wait one week for a 50 min episode. I prefered the marathons this Summer when I found myself in posession of both part 1 and 2, a whole 50 episodes that I gobled during the long trips we took throughout Ghana.
