The personal website of Rick and James
Following are some of our favorite hobbies and pastimes. They are not listed in any order...
Gardening — James is a passionate gardener and landscaper, who is never happier than when is working on the lawn or shrubbery (whether in our yard or in the neighbors'), and caked with soil. He tends carefully to fertilizers and various pest control measures.
Cars — Rick loves cars; well, O.K., at least he loves fast BMWs and everything about them. One of his favorite car-related websites is www.Roadfly.org
Travel — We both are travel hounds, with a penchant for warm, sunny destinations. We usually wish we had the extra vacation time to accomplish more of it.
Cooking — Rick is the chef of the family. He considers cooking to be the best therapy for treatment of the tensions that develop during one's hectic day.
Photography — Also needs to be included among our hobbies!
Reading — James longs for the spare time to read mystery novels; Dick Francis, Nelson De Mille, and Carl Hiassen are among his favorite authors. He also enjoys the works of David Sedaris, as well as many books and magazines concerning landscape design. Rick admits to having a short attention span, and prefers poetry and short stories. A great website resource is www.Alibris.com
Giraffes — We don't own a live one yet, but we have a growing collection of smaller, inanimate giraffes. Giraffes created from crystal, silver, wood, pottery, porcelain, bronze; giraffes depicted in artwork: oils, engravings, woodcuts; even one fashioned from Lego pieces (thank you, Todd!) Click here for a few photographs from our collection.
Collecting artwork — An ongoing, life-long project for us both.
