The Four Things Meme

Kipper tagged me with the 4 things meme so here goes:

Four jobs I've nad in my life: Line chef at a nice restaraunt, Navy Boatswains Mate, Corporate Safety Manager, Environmental Consulting firm owner (current)

Four movies I could (and do) watch over and over: The Princess Bride, Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, Tora Tora Tora.

Four places I've lived: Medford, NJ, Philly, Rancho San Diego, CA, Chula Vista, CA

Four fiction books I can't live without: I'm not a big fiction reader so there are none that I can't live without. Some of my favorites are: The Bear and the Dragon by Clancy, The Haj by Uris, A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens (a teacher in High School forced me to love this book and she will always be remembered for that), Red Storm Rising by Clancy.

Four non-fiction books I consider essential: This is a bit harder and constantly changes, but here goes: Eat the Rich by P.J. O'Rourke, The Trial of Henry Kissinger by Hitchens, The Glorious Cause by Jeff Shaara (better than 1776 IMHO) and The War Over Iraq by Bill Kristol. This is an ever evolving list.

Four TV shows I love to watch: 24, Law and Order (and the many spinoffs), Flyers hockey and Phillies baseball depending on the season.

Four places I've been on vacation: Disneyworld, Ocean City, NJ, Fort Lauderdale and Mount Laguna.

Four Favorite Foods: Pizza, jambalaya, carne asada and Jim's cheesesteak.

Four Websites I visit daily: Tim Blair, James Taranto, OSHA.gov (for business) and Sitemeter because all bloggers are traffic and link whores.

Four places I'd rather be: Dog Beach in Coronado, CA, Killington, VT, Disneyworld and Saint Andrews, Scotland.

Four albums I can't live without: Pink Floyd-Animals, Jerry Garcia Band (live two CD set), Sublime-40-oz. to Freedom and Neil Young-Decade. This was the hardest leaving out in no particular order (Offspring-Americana, Pearl Jam (any), Nirvana (most), Allman Bros. (any) and Skynyrd-Second Helping)

I tag Scott at POV, Katinula at Reasonably Ascertainable Reality and my son Shayne at Animals.
