I don't read much. I like to cook. I don't like to bake. I have kids. I don't work. I like to run.
I am a vegetarian. I read when I am bored. I write poetry. I am a Marine. I work as a bartender. I watch face off.
Have you wrote any new poems? I haven't written any poems recently.  How are the kids? That's too bad. Maybe you could write one about your experiences as a Marine or bartender! They are okay. It is hard to get them to pay attention to their schoolwork. But I started letting them help me cook in the evenings! You're absolutely right.  My time in the Corps would make for some interesting poetry.  I'm sorry you're having difficulty getting them to pay attention to their schoolwork. At least with you not working you're able to dedicate more time to them. Yes, I have a lot to be grateful for! I cooked a vegetarian eggplant dish last night that had honey, basil, and ricotta cheese with it. Do you like to cook vegetarian dishes for yourself? That sounds delicious! You know I am a vegetarian after all.  I do cook for myself from time to time when I'm not lost in a good book.  You know how I love to read! That's good! It is so rewarding to eat a nice meal that you prepared yourself! Yes, I remember that. I do too! What are you reading right now? I'm currently reading "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking. It's extremely interesting. I'm glad to hear that you enjoy reading. I know it's something you don't get to do too often. Wow, that sounds so interesting! Stephen Hawking had a brilliant mind. Yeah, even though I enjoy it, I don't get much time. I usually use any free time I get to go running in the local parks. The fresh air is wonderful! Do you like to get outside often? Maybe read at a park? I haven't made it to the park recently since I've been so busy bartending. I have picked up on baking in my free time though.  Do you like to bake? I do not like to bake, unfortunately. I like to improvise when I cook, and with baking, if you don't follow the recipe closely it can result in disaster. I have really made a mess when I have tried! What is your favorite thing to bake? Anything with peaches.  Just like Nicholas Cage from my favorite movie "Face Off", I could eat a peach for hours.
