What's your workspace like?  

I like to daydream out the window, a habit I picked up in Catholic school that I never got over, so I have to have a window in order to do my best work.  I try to keep my work in organized piles, but some days my desk can be a real train wreck.  I have a dual monitor graphics card, so I have one screen for work, the other for my music & YouTube video browsing.

My mountain bikes…stress relief is a must in TV!

70’s Soul & Funk…my all-time favorite! The Brothers Johnson, Isley Brothers, Al Green, Sly & the Family Stone, etc.

Some nights I’m a night owl, some nights early to bed, but I always seem to get up early regardless.
