Favorite Movies My all time favorite would have to be Guess Who's Coming To Dinner. That final scene with Spencer Tracy's monologue always brings me to tears!
Favorite Music Way too eclectic to list here - its a mix of classical (leaning heavily toward violin concertos), pop, and country. See, I told you I'm all over the place, musically speaking. : )
Favorite Books My two favorite authors are Nora Roberts and Diana Gabaldon. Ms. Roberts Three Sisters Island Trilogy and Ms. Gabaldon's Outlander series are among my favorites.
