Photography!!! I love all music, preferably jazz, R&B; & Latin. Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Danilo Perez, Chucho Valdes, Motown & Steely Dan to name a few. My idea of relaxation is a day with my wife, eating good food (Mexican, Italian or Asian), taking in a good movie and driving home listening to music. At the end of the day settling in to a good mystery novel.
