1. boston:
   Home of the UUA, the Boston Early Music Festival, and numerous friends. Close to Maine (and thus swooop). Incredible meals at Pigalle and Elephant Walk and Jewel of Newbury...
2. chicago:
   Home of "Wait!Wait!Don't Tell Me!" and the best french horn section I've been privileged to hear. I sang with the Grant Park Symphony Chorus the summer after college and fell deep in love with Leonard Bernstein's "Chichester Psalms."
3. copyediting:
   It funds the kibble for Abby and the Scotch for me. Plus, it's a fine outlet for congenital fussiness.
4. early music:
   Specifically Baroque and Renaissance -- I'm not into chant or much else before Monteverdi, but Rameau, Wilbye, Dowland, Bach -- I wouldn't describe it as better than sex, but some of those songs and operas are ravishing...
5. handel:
   As good as sex, at times. :-)
6. madrigals:
   Interesting alto parts!
7. poetry:
   See previous entry.
8. scotch:
   Edradour. Old Pulteney. Talisker. Macallan. Sheep Dip. :-)
9. unitarian universalism:
   Sister Blowtorch of Pragmatism at your service.
10. university of michigan:
    Hail to the victors... (I used to live within walking distance of the stadium. My favorite game was the one I watched with snow coming down the entire time.)

Hear hear! about the alto parts in madrigals.

And Maine, of course, is at your service :-)

Oh, fine, name drop swooop but fail to mention your U-M alum Ann Arbor friend...waah. I think I'll go outside and eat worms.

Oh, so that's why a quarter of the flist isn't speaking to me this morning? :-p And here I was thinking it was the Sorting Hat/Grawp slashlet (http://www.livejournal.com/users/catrinella/28926.html) that did it...

Oh, that's disturbing. Your brain is a strange, strange place...
