If information was food,...my balanced diet

For me, balanced means some reading, some listening and definitely some doing to reinforce what I see and hear. I read journal articles and textbooks for work as well as surfing the net and library databases for the latest techniques and research. I tend toward novels and autobiographies at home along with patterns and instructions for crafts and sewing. I wake to NPR and drive home to it as well most evenings. I watch documentaries, the history channel and the occasional prime time comedy. I like old movies. When my partner and I are doing chores around the house we blast golden oldies to make it easier to keep working in time with the music. When our launched kids come over to visit they make fun of our choice of tunes and TV favorites. Their loss for not having good taste! Ha Ha!
