| Introduction | Still figuring it out. |
| Interests | Writing a book (literary biography - if it doesn't exist as a category I'm inventing it) about Gearoid O'Sullivan, an ancestor who was a Celtic scholar, child prodigy, Michael Collins' confidante (and cousin) and central figure in the Irish rebellion. |
| Favorite Movies | "Chocolat" with Johnny Depp; "It's a Wonderful Life" - last half hour, at least; and all the pre-requisite classics (e.g., "Citizen Kane"). Also enjoy "Strictly Ballroom" and "The Quiet Man" and . . . oh, too many to name here. |
| Favorite Music | Would never pick one genre. But I adore Neil Young, Tom Waits, Rolling Stones, Lucinda Williams, Warren Zevon, Jack Johnson and lots of new stuff. |
| Favorite Books | There are so many, but Huckleberry Finn is my all-around favorite American novel because kids can read it on one level, adults on another, and every time I read it I come away with something new. |
