About me

Gender Male
Introduction Interested in creative programs going on in our Branches and in other places too. What have you done or read about that's innovative? Whats new electronically speaking to improve customer service? As the current chair of the Diversity Task Force am really interested in any programs going on in the area to serve the Latino community.
Interests Cooking: not a gourmet but when in the mood I make a mean Chicken Paprika; simple but good, is my Green Olive Casserole. Should have been born southern because I love rice with practically anything. When feeling lazy I'll eat practically anything I don't have to cook.
Favorite Movies The Pianist
Favorite Music Simon and Garfunkle (not my dogs), Moody Blues, River Dance, Les Mis.
Favorite Books Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier, The Obstacle Course, The Last Temptation of Christ by Kazantsakis, The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton, pretty much anything by the Beat poets, especially Ferlinghetti Now in the process of reading Thirteen Moons by Charles Frazier and it's as good if not better than Cold Mountain. Right now (Sept 07) I'm trying to read The Confessions of St. Augustine. Has anyone read it? Is it as wonderful and deep as it seems to be?

What single book have you read that has made a difference in your day-to-day life?
