NPR, Bird Watching, and Public Television....(especially This Old House!)
*NPR: I discovered not too long ago, while driving from NYC to the midwest that when music is playing it doesn't prevent me from dozing off at the wheel, but when talk radio is playing I listen more intently and stay awake. I love listening to the news, the speciality shows (the car guys from Boston, and Garrison Keillor), and the music. I don't know why it took me almost 28 years to discover this type of entertainment!
*Bird Watching: I used to make fun of my family for doing this same hobby, but after living in Northern Michigan for a few seasons, I was intrigued by the different types of birds on my feeders, and when they passed through. Now that I live in the big apple I don't get to see as many types of birds as I did in MI, but I do get to see different types...birds that are native to the Eastern coast. Just today on my feeder I discovered a couple new birds. We now have a nesting pair of Tufted Titmouses and I swear their was a Violet Finch, but it could have been a House Finch. I'll have to get a better look at him when he visits again.
*Public Television: This Old House is my absolute favorite. It could be because of the Boston accents, it could be the beautiful projects that they do, but it could just be that I secretly (not so much now) love Norm. He's so knowledgeable...as is the whole crew...they are just so much fun to watch. And I do learn something new everytime I watch! I think it's a turn on for Adam:) They are actually currently doing a project on a Brownstone in Brooklyn! We haven't been to check it out yet, but just wait...we'll get there and hopefully take some pictures to post.
Besides This Old House I also enjoy the documentaries, Antique Road Show, and NYC TV which has Globe Trekker, and Travels to the Edge with Art Wolfe. He is a nature photographer...possibly one of the best, and by far my favorite. There is a link to his work on my blog...check him out, you'll be glad you did!!
