Location	Stanwood, Washington, United States
Introduction	Mostly spend my days writing. Also researching my family history which I'm putting down into a narrative that I hope to publish...before I die !! The project is like eating liver, the more you chew the bigger and bigger it gets in your mouth. Like to garden a bit and travel.
Interests	Right now I'm trying to illustrate a children's book in photoshop. Follow politics waaaay more than I should as it too often puts me into a really grumpy place. In the many many years I was a bachelor I had to cook for myself. Consequently I have developed an interest in gathering and trying out new recipes and enjoy fine dining. Cooking shows are good too. Especially Jaques Pepin.
Favorite movies	To Kill A Mockingbird, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, On the Waterfront, Being John Malkovich, Young Frankenstein, The Big Lewbowski
Favorite music	I like all kinds of music. From classical to jug band.
Favorite books	Collected Works of Jalal ad-Din Rumi, The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn, Seven Serpents and Seven Moons by Demetrio Arguelles Malta, The Autumn of the Patriarch by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Riddley Walker by Russel Hobart, anything by Gary Snyder
