About

I guess I'd rather read stories than write. But once in a blue moon I get motivated and write something, or finish something I started a while back. Poetry and short stories interest me the most. Irony and humor are fun, but its nice to occasionally read something poignant. (But then I have to think).

Interests
Hiking, travel, being lazy.

Favorite Books
The Winter of Our Discontent, by John Steinbeck; Mothering Sunday by Graham Swift; Practice House by Laura McNeal; C. J. Box mysteries.

Favorite Authors
William Wordsworth, E.M. Forster, John Steinbeck

Favorite Movies
The Wizard of Oz
Groundhog Day
Titanic
Passengers
Once Upon a Time in the West

Favorite Music
My favorites vary from time to time. Tunes form the 70s and 80s that I have heard many times in the past, but never really paid attention to the lyrics. Todd Rundgren and 10CC to name a couple. ("Its just a silly phase I'm going through"). Lately more into Deep House music.
