What are you obsessed with? Please… ONLY LIST THREE No family members or friends. 1. Queen (The rock band) I have more books on the band than most people have albums…and a Queen tattoo to boot.(with other tats in mind). Had 10 Queen albums in my Jukebox when i was in the Poolhall biz. 2. St. Louis Rams(The NFL Team) Watched the Rams SB victory dozens of times and have a Rams logo tattoo.(I should move to St Louis and get a job with the Rams) 3. Tacos(with a SOFT CORN shell…screw that flour shit) Eat them several times a week,sometimes 2 or more times a day.Not sure if I want a taco tattoo.I even chose my last Apt so it was next door to my favorite taco shop. ---

1. World of Warcraft - I play every day, and I’m a member of a high-end raiding guild. I’m probably addicted. 2. My cats - I have seven, and I adore them all (they are family members, but I’m not sure they count for the OP’s purposes). 3. The RPG Shadowrun - I don’t play this so much anymore, but I still love the world and it was my major obsession for close to twenty years. ---

(since I’m one of those pets-are-my-family people, I’m not counting them here) \*\*Music. \*\* If I had to limit it I’d say The Dead. No, wait … Floyd. Oh, no, I meant P-Funk. Brubeck! Arrrrrgggghhhh… waitasecond, the OP just said no family, so I can get away with music! \*\*Music. \*\* What, this again? I’m putting creating music in a second category. My drum was hand-picked for me from an African village by my teacher. I think it’s the only material object that I own that I’d consider sacred. **The Internet.** My first connection was to my neighbor, connecting my C-64 to his Apple. It’s impossible to conceptualize the leap. Grandparents saw the dawn of the airplane. Folks saw the dawn of television. Our generation saw the dawn of the Internet (though g’maw did see all three). The Internet lets both Mrs. Dvl and I work from home, connects me to the Dope, and answers everything. ---

Riding my bike on a clear sunny but not hot day. Drinking hot black tea. Reading well-written books. (Also my dog, writing, good movies, red wine, friends)
