About me

Gender Male
Occupation Retired and a pain in the neck.
Location North Vancouver, British columbia, Canada
Introduction Retired after a successful career in high tech. Well at least I thought so! And yes, those are my painted toe nails - dark blue haha.
Interests Curious about just about everything. However I draw the line at Jimmy Choo shoes.
Favorite Movies Too, too many to list. Apocalypse Now, Unforgiven, Pulp Fiction, Saving Private Ryan and LA Confidential stand out.
Favorite Music Rock, from the fifties du-wop to Metallica and Husker Du, with a bit of Lucinda Williams, Lou Reed, Sonic Youth, Tom Petty and Pearl Jam thrown in.
Favorite Books Again, too many. I read about 15 to 20 books a year. The following made an impression on me: Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman, 1984, Catcher In The Rye, The Handmaid's Tale, A Bend in the River by V. S. Naipaul. Stalingrad by Antony Beevor, and finally and most recently The Invisible Bridge by Julie Orringer.

Eventually everything will be made clear.
