That’s easy—my kids, Lily and Finnegan.

Honesty. You need to know who you are, what you do and stick to it.

I’ve always wanted to learn how to play musical instruments. More precisely, I wanted to play them well.

I’d miss the color of leaves in the fall and snowball battles. I really enjoy the changing of the seasons. (I probably wouldn’t miss shoveling.)

Definitely Yerba Mate (A tea-like drink from South America). The first few sips are a bit challenging, but once you get into it the brain starts flying.

The Bad News Bears, under the management of Walter Matthau’s Morris Buttermaker.

There are actually two things that drive me crazy. The first is panic. Panic will get you absolutely nowhere. Secondly, people who don’t bring solutions to the table when faced with a challenge. Suffice it to say, panicky, non-solutions-oriented people need not apply.

I am the proud owner of Kimba, a South Baltimore Brown, aka mutt. She’s a troublemaker but an awesome companion. Pets are ultimately accepting and don’t ask questions. Who doesn’t love that?

My dad was a foreign correspondent for a major daily so I probably got to see more of the world as a kid then most people get to see in their whole life. A lot of people are frightened of things they don’t understand. Traveling helped me rise above those fears, and I treasure that.

“Six Feet Under” was brilliant. “Entourage” is great. I typically don’t go for shows that revolve around lawyers, doctors or police detectives—so I’m usually out of luck in primetime.
