Value Outside Work

My favorite things to do as a kid were. . .

I liked to ride my bike around the neighborhood and play pick-up baseball with the other nearby kids.  I also loved to go to Maine in the summer and hike up to the top of tall mountains for the great view. 

As a big kid, I like to. . .

Golf, ski, play guitar or keyboards (for fun – I am no expert), or just listen to live music.  I still like to hike, but a little less than I used to. I also like to watch sports or movies, and to travel to new and fun places when time permits.

One of the things I hope to do. . .

Visit more fun and new places (New Zealand, Botswana and Alaska are just a few examples of the many places on my long list); spend time with old friends and meet some new ones too.
