From our high school days, you say? Well, OK:

Album: Aerosmith’s Permanent Vacation. It still reminds me of my first trips to the beach in my own car, freed from the saccharine sounds of The Carpenters and other “light rock” mainstays.

TV Show: Night Court, because John Larroquette kept me in stitches.

Movie: This is a difficult choice, because I didn’t have a clear favorite in this category. I think I’ll go with Dead Poets Society, because I found it inspiring.
