The letter B.

George posted this letter meme, listing ten things he likes starting with a randomly chosen letter from the person who did the meme before him.  I requested a letter from him afterwards, and it was the letter B.  

Here we go…

Boulder – It may be 25 square miles surrounded by reality, but I love the scenic setting, the restaurants, and the shopping.  I feel lucky to work somewhere not far from the Boulder Creek Path, where I can go for walks at lunch (weather permitting).  

Boston – One of my favorite places to visit, full of history and close to the ocean.  When I was younger, it was my dream to live there.  I’ve been there three times.

Brussels sprouts – I think my mom would say that I’ve always loved ‘em.  Lately, I’ve been tossing them with some olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roasting them.  Yum.

Baking – Yeah, this diabetic loves to bake, bread in particular.  Though it’s been awhile since I made a cheesecake…

Bon Appetit - Best food magazine out there, in my opinion.  It doesn’t talk down like Gourmet and doesn’t involve health & beauty like Cooking Light.  

Bon Jovi – Yeah, I’m a fan.

Boots – And when I say boots, I mean hiking boots.  I need to do more easy-to-moderate hiking.  It’s about exercise, it’s about taking photographs of nature.  Yeah, I like it.

Bears – Chicago Bears football, of course.

Baseball – I’m not talking about the current steroid scandal or the escalating salaries of all professional sports.  I’m talking about the 80′s/early 90′s era of baseball before everything went weird with baseball.  I am in possession of several hundred baseball cards from that time, most of which I should probably sell.  I’m still a Cubs fan and would love them to win a World Series, but I’m not an everyday baseball fan anymore.  

Benjamin – My brother.  :)
