My favorite food is ice cream. I enjoy almonds and coffee and olives (normally not together). I continue to be a recovering TV person, with intermittent, incremental success. I don't like team handball but I don't believe playing it should be a capital crime. (A felony, yes, resulting in meaningful prison time, of course; but beyond that, no, largely because, all things being equal, I'm against capital punishment in connection with all sports-related offenses.)
