 I got the letter H from [personal profile] shipperslist 


Something I hate: Hate - the nasty vitriolic stuff that is rampant in the US right now. 

Something I love: Hamburgers. No idea why they are, all of a sudden, my favorite food,. 

Somewhere I have been: Hamburg, Germany. We went there in our fust visit to Germany. Jenny lived there when she worked for Beiersdorf. We had some fantastic fish and chips down at the harbor and we also took a boat tour. We visited a Lego store, too. 

Somewhere I would like to go: Hollywood. well, not so much Hollywood as LA and some of the surrounding areas. 

Someone I know: I had an uncle Howard, who was a supply sargent in the Pacific theater in WWII. My dad was a boy and Howard tried to bring him a monkey back from there. He was quite a character. 

Best Movie: Hocus Pocus!  


If you want to play, ask for a letter and I'll give you one!

I decided to go with television shows since we watch a lot of tv.

General shows from 5 to 1.

5. The Andy Griffith Show - a show from the early 1960s and can be found on many networks. Thuis sbiow is about rural life somewhere in the south in the 60s. It star Andy Griffith, Don Knotts and a small Ron Howard. Andy Griffith was born and raised in a town 20 minutes from me and it is a lot like Mayberry in his show.

4. The Big Bang Theory - A show about scientist/nerds working at Cal Tech and living the the nerdy life. The show focuses in Sheldon Cooper played by Jim Parsons. It can be seen in rerun s as well.

3. M*A*S*H = This one is an anti=war show that takes place in a MASH unit in Korea during the Korean War of the early 1950s. We follow the ups and downs of the doctors, nurses and supporting staff in their daily life at war. I loved the show never lost its anti-war flavor nor its humanity.

2. Boston Lega - lawyer show with James Spoader, William Shatner and Canice Bergen among a sparking cast. This show runs from the ridiculous to the sublime and Alan Shore and Denny Crane, played by Spader and Shatner, are not to be missed.


1. Babylon 5 - In my opinion, the best of the space operas, B5 takes place on a space station and its cast if characters are much harder to in pin down than calling them good or bad guys. One character says that no one is as he seems there. There is a lot of plot and a lot if action in the show. I think you can catch it on Prime right now.


Honorable mentiions; Stargate: SG1, NCIS, Star TrekTOS, Star Trek DS9, Doctor Who.
