| Interests | Painting, Music, Photography, Cooking and Baking, Walking, Travel, Books, Films. |
| Favorite movies | Favorite directors: Renoir, Fellini, Truffaut, Godard, Bergman, Visconti, etc. etc. yeah some Americans too. |
| Favorite music | Mozart is God. Ellington was right: there are two kinds of music, Good Music and Bad Music. I like every type of good music, from Rap to Classical to Opera and everything in between. Currently having a love affair with Fleet Foxes. |
| Favorite books | Too many to name, but my favorites are comic novels (and Proust is included in this category) and novelists like Robertson Davies, David Lodge, Alison Laurie, Kate Christensen, Diane Johnson. Get the picture? Keep me away from the big heaving beasts (invariably men) who produce MAJOR NOVELS. |
