Things I enjoy:
- Music: really any kind. I particularly enjoy jazz (including smooth jazz), blues, standards, fingerstyle guitar, ’60’s and ’70’s music (especially soul from that period), swamp rock, and easy listening.

- The Three Stooges: needs no explanation.
- Baseball: Particularly the Braves and the White Sox.

- Pizza: especially sausage pizza from Home Run Inn.

- Writing and especially blogging

- Cats: Even though ours are now all waiting at the Bridge…

- Most importantly, Mary, the love of my life for over 46 years. I love her so much that, at her request, I won’t put a picture of her here.
What are some things you enjoy?
I just enjoy the 3 Stooges and, in my Stooges calendar, March showed a Pie fight but just the 3. I always wanted to be in a pie fight because it looks like fun. I enjoy creating cards, painting things, I enjoy animals and art museums. I love watching movies and reading everything about films/actors etc.. I love reading. I enjoy walking in the forest and I love swimming. There is so much I do enjoy actually. I enjoy reading your blog!

When it comes to jazz, I’m more the funky, New Orleans, clarinet-heavy sound like Dr. Michael White. And when it comes to baseball, I’ll take the Boston Redsox. Even though I’m in Bradenton, FL now (home to Pittsburg Pirates spring training) I’m originally from Connecticut.

I grew up in Chicago, where we have the North Side team (the Cubs) and the South Side team (the White Sox). I was a Sox fan even though I grew up on the North Side. Good thing, too: When Mary (who’s a South Sider) told her father about me, she hastened to add that I was a Sox fan, or he might not have let me in the house.

This was good. I enjoy music too, I enjoy singing in the Church choir. I enjoy writing poetry and I love dogs, though I don’t have one right now. Wishing you all the best for the rest of the challenge.

Thanks! Mary and I like dogs, but cats are easier to deal with for us, because we don’t have to walk them…

You have some good taste. I’ve never had Home Run Inn pizza before. I guess I’ll add it to my list of things to try when I go visit my family in Chicago.
I enjoy coffee, walks in the woods, writing, my family, and yoga. Probably in that order ;)

We left Chicago years ago, but we buy the Home Run Inn pizzas frozen at the grocery store (for us, at Publix). Check their website (homeruninnpizza.com) to see if they sell them at your store. The original restaurant is at 31st and Pulaski, but they have other locations, which are on the website as well.
You mean you like coffee more than your family? 🤣

I was always kinda hoping to put a face to Mary. :) I love your posts about her. I’m not a cat fan, though they can be entertaining. I love dogs. Baseball, pizza, and blogging are all pretty cool. Have a great day. I’m off to a funeral of a dear friend, so it won’t be too great–though WE are still alive….

Mary has learned to love the Stooges through me. It’s slapstick, but sometimes it’s inspired. Our favorite one is “A-Plumbing We Will Go.”
