Favorite State Fair Food: Grilled sweet corn from the Wisconsin State Fair
Favorite Friends Inadvertently Left Off the First List: Ellen, Susan, Nancy, Dale(s), JoAnna, Sabrina, Shell, Monica, Rick and Judy, Bill, Jim, David
Favorite Bands: Tie and a tough call to name favorites, there are so many - The BoDeans (live is better than studio), Fleetwood Mac (but only with Christine McVie!), CSN (particularly if Y is with them), Queen (circa 75), Zeppelin, The Stones (esp. Brian Jones/Mick Taylor eras), Lynyrd Skynryd (only pre-crash - Summer of 77), Mott the Hoople, The Band (The Last Waltz, the perfect concert film?), The Traveling Wilburys (it looked they they were having so much fun&George and Roy, we miss you!)

Favorite Shopping Experiences: Any Frys Electronics stores, but preferably one of themed stores like the Tiki-themed store in Manhattan Beach (its always at LEAST a three hour experience, with a shopping cart)
Favorite Rental Vehicles When Traveling: Lately a tie between well-equipped Chevy Malibus and Hyundai Sonatas (both best of the mainstream U.S. rental fleets - the Malibu could be the best all-around vehicle GM has ever built - who would have ever thought)
Favorite Hotel Affinity Program: Hilton Honors because of Double-Dipping with hotel + airline miles.
Favorite Car Rental Program: National Emerald Executive and Alamo Quicksilver because at most larger airports, I get to pick whatever vehicle I want - do you know how much fun that is for car guys?
Favorite TV Frivolity: Mix Tivo with Top Gear, original Monty Python episodes on BBCA and then The Time Tunnel on ALN (or watch the latter on Hulu.com)
Favorite Sandwich Anywhere on the Planet: Schwartzs Viand Fumee in Montreal on rye with brown mustard and a sour pickle, or a Woody Allen at Carnegie Deli with a shared side of latkes slathered with applesauce and sour cream and their whole sours, washed down with Dr. Browns Diet Black Cherry (and then seeing someone you know from across the continent sitting a couple of tables away.
Favorite Street Food: NY hot dogs, Montreal and Quebec poutine
Favorite Sporting Event Food: the best sporting event food, bar none, is found at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. Local Lions Clubs serve perfect Wisconsin brats and Wisconsin beer like Leinies and Sprecher all over the trackside venues - the drivers all agree!
Favorite Soft Drinks: Sprecher Root Beer in an ice cold frosted mug, Newmans Virgin Lemonade spiked with bottled Nellie Joes Famous Key West Lemon Juice, Hawaiian Punch Light, Sonic Diet Cherry Limeades
Favorite Coffee: Starbucks Pike Place Roast - more addictive than nicotine
Favorite Legal Tech/LPM Blogs: tie between Jim Calloways Law Practice Tips Blog (for being so practical), Rick Georges Futurelawyer (for being my muse when it comes to gadget news posting) and Dennis Kennedys Blog (for being insightful)
Favorite National Anthem: Hatikvah - it means so much to me as a Jew, I shiver when I hear it (esp. the Ofrah Haza version with David ben Gurions announcement on May 14, 1948 of the re-establishment of the State of Israel which is free-streamed here
OK, I feel better now .
