I will respond to u in kind Lou.

I love Music. I love reading and literature and a good mystery novel. I love my wife and kids and parents. I love the beach. I love the way the air smells when I come home to Florida from somewhere inland. The air is warm and sweet, and when I get near my house, I smell saltwater and fish. I could not live without that smell. The smell of life. I love open minded people and a lot of close minded ones too. I love the sound of church bells even though I do not attend. I love the Catholic Nuns who helped my child and my family when we thought our world was ending. It did not, but they were the BEST. I love reading and I love knowledge. As a young child, I read the "World Book Encyclopedia" for hours on end. I read it to my little friends. 1960 edition, already outdated. I LOVE BASEBALL. I love small towns and delis and mom and pop grocery stores, delis and greasy spoons. I love trains. I love the guitar. I love the original HankWilliams, Elvis, the Beatles and the Band. I  love Joni Mitchell and John Prine and Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. I am falling in love with many other musicians.

I love St, Augustine and Savannah and seafood and history. I love New Jersey, where I was born. I love Florida, where I have lived most of my life. I love Jersey tomatoes and corn.I love New York and Boston and San Francisco. I love South Florida. I love palm trees and butterflies. I love good food and I love collecting old radios. 

I love Canada, had wonderful experienced there. I love the Caribbean Islands. I love original music and thought, and honesty. I dearly love my grandparents and I love the America I grew up wishing and believing it to be. Those are just a few of the things I love. Just a few.
