| Introduction | I do a pretty mean rendition of "Father Figure" by George Michael, and I'll sing any Michael Jackson song on cue. I am obsessed with drinking coffee from Dunkin Donuts. I like wearing scarves and over-sized sunglasses for no reason other than I think they look good. And I watch arty French flicks with my shades on. |

Jack Kerouac. Allen Ginsberg. The Beat Generation. William Shakespeare. Traveling. Politics. Social Activism. Passion. The Joy of Life. Smiling. Photography (especially Ansel Adams). Concerts. People. and I'm not going to lie, I have recently discovered I am a Scrabble nerd. |
