| Location | New York, New York, United States |
| Interests | IF I COULD BE ANYWHERE RIGHT NOW I'D BE:, Shooting with a great Aussie crew in the Australian bush wearing jeans and R.M. Williams boots...flies buzzing, dirt underfoot hard as concrete, kookaburras laughing overhead and swooping down to snatch a banana right out of your hand...., Otherwise I like either sophisticated urban or rustic mountains. Many close friends in Amsterdam; have spent a lot of time there. Munich for the art galleries. London because I lived there (feels like home). Sydney any time - long to live there again. Anywhere in Italy. A little B&B above Montreaux (Switzerland) run by a gourmet chef named Helmut. Ditto for Le Mas Candille in the hills above Cannes. Edinburgh and all parts north (particularly the Isle of Mull). Fly fishing in Banff. 18th C. inn in Kyoto. |
