Despite what some may think, I honestly don't watch much television. I may watch about two hours of TV a week.
Books:
"Remembrance of Things Past (À la recherche du temps perdu)" By Marcel Proust
"Harvard Yard" by William Martin
Heroes/Idols:
My grandparents, who both grew up on farms and lived through the great depression. They instilled in me the value of doing things with my own two hands, of learning new skills and of cultivating and living off the land. I wish daily they both could have lived to see how much of a difference they made with me.
