Introduction	I have multiple myeloma, an incurable, universally-fatal blood cancer. The average survival when diagnosed in 1998 was from three to five years. Through diligent study and miraculous luck, I'm still here, more than thirteen years later. [Note: blogger has a new bug: I can't expand this profile. I hope it is fixed soon.]
Interests	I recorded the audio clip a few years ago. Today I'm so weak I can't play but I am getting stronger.
Favorite movies	Laurence of Arabia, Secrets & Lies, the first two Star Wars movies, Maltese Falcon, My Dinner with Andre
Favorite music	Beethoven sonatas, Schumann
Favorite books	Last Place on Earth
