My favorite drink, far and away, is Tang. I drink roughly 3 quarts per day. I prefer to drink it at roughly 20% of the recommended strength.

I have a 1-gallon pitcher, and to keep from having to make it practically every day, what I do is make it at full strength, then put just a tiny bit in a glass and then add some cold water to fill the glass. When I was in college this was a great, inexpensive drink to keep on hand. More on Tang, the drink of champions

My favorite book is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. When I first came upon this book, I was at a really low point in my life. My mother had passed away, my marriage failed, I had a blood clot in my leg.

Basically anything that could happen did. When I began to read the book the message inside spoke of living in the now and trying to over come the past.

Mr. Tolle addressed ways to meditate on positive choices and positive thoughts in order to make better life decisions.

After reading this book, all I wanted to do was read it again and again. The messages inside are so uplifting and I would recommend it for anyone.

One of my favorite books is The Fog of War: Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara, written by James Blight and Janet Lang.

I initially read it while on active duty, and it helped me better understand the nature of warfare, and as an American citizen, understand the rationale behind actions undertaken by our past and current leaders. Robert McNamara served as Secretary of Defense under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson from 1960 to 1968. More on The Fog of War: Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara

I am very picky about my eyeglasses. It's not the color or even the shape of the frames that matters to me, but the bridge. The bridge is the part of the frame that rests on the sides of the upper part of your nose so they don't slide down your face. There are different bridge types. The most common bridge type is the saddle bridge. The saddle bridge is like an upside-down U or a saddle, hence the name. More on A Tricky Nose to Fit

I have been wearing glasses since I was 6 years old and have always hated it and found it to be a nuisance. My first pair of eyeglasses were pink with Smurfette on the side. I actually lost them and my friend’s father found them before he mowed them with the lawnmower. More on Smurfette Glasses
