Introduction I started this blog in 2003 because I love words, and unfortunately, my advertising day job didn't allow me to use words like 'smithereens' and 'flabbergasted'. I love a good rant as much as I adore a good yarn, and you'll probably find a bit of both on this blog.
Interests Reading, writing (blogging), social media, trekking, running, adventure sports, cooking, cleaning (no, seriously)
Favorite Movies The English Patient, My Cousin Vinny, Talented Mr. Ripley, Good Will Hunting, Godfather
Favorite Music Western classical, Jazz & Blues, Classic Rock.
Favorite Books To Kill a Mockingbird, Into Thin Air, The Maltese Falcon, The End of Suffering (Pankaj Mishra), Frank Unedited, The Commitments, 84 Charing Cross Road, The Artist's Way, Travels with the Fish, Comfort me with Apples, On Writing, Maximum City, Persepolis, anything by Frank Miller

Until they're crisp on the outside and gooey on the inside... I guess.
