My blogs

Introduction	I'll let the blog speak for me.
Interests	current affairs, political criticism, transportation, travel, history, languages
Favorite Movies	Metropolitan, Fellini, an occasional "weepy", action-adventure as long as there is minimal torture/avulsion/amputation
Favorite Music	Magnetic Fields, Mark Eitzel, Stephen Sondheim, Dawn Upshaw, Kronos Quartet, Brian Eno (these came easier than the "movies" section)
Favorite Books	Hard Laughter (Anne Lamott), The Edible Woman (Margaret Atwood), the Proust I've finished, The Architecture of Happiness (Alain de Botton), Crime and Prejudice

If you were going to visit another state, what would be the first state you'd dismiss out-of-hand from your "desirable" list? And, naturally, why?
