My Favorite Things

 

Eating Establishment

 The Outback Steakhouse is an excellent place to eat if one enjoys good food within a friendly atmosphere.  Since most individuals will never make it "down under," this is a wonderful opportunity to be engulfed by Aussie cuisine.

The Olive Garden is another example of foreign food with an American touch.  I love the multitude of pasta dishes available along with the Italian vino.

Websites

I spend an enormous amount of time on the internet.  There are many sites I visit frequently to check on news, mail, and for pleasure.  Listed below are just a few of my favorite links.

News - New York Times, Kansas City Star, CNN

Shopping - Eddie Bauer, DVD Talk

Sports - T&F News, Trackwire, ESPN

Entertainment - EQ Haven, South Park, Funnies

Miscellaneous - Graphics, Law, Hotmail, Napster

Entertainment

Entertainment comes in many forms!  Somedays I enjoy painting the town with my friends, and then there is other days when an old movie will do.  Hiking, camping, and working out also bring me pleasure.  Later this summer, I will glue myslef to the telvision for the 2000 Summer Olympics.  I am very curious to see certain athletes that I have competed against take on the world.
