In no particular order:

Red wine, hot tea, dark chocolate, ice cream!

Cruise vacations (most recent was Panama Canal in May 2011)

Friends and family

Reading science fiction, mysteries, trash, work-related stuff. 

Way too much TV; favorites include Torchwood (when it's on!),  Eureka (when it's on), Dr. Who - why do my favorites always disappear? - I must be out of sync with the world!
