| Introduction | I am currently unemployed and really looking for work. I'd much rather be sitting at a computer with my reading glasses about to fall off my nose writing the great American historical novel infused with a mix of humor and pathos that will make every studio on the planet beg me to sell it to them. OK - I'm dreaming...seriously...I want to sit down and talk to the powers that be in Washington about the sorry state of healthcare and how they can fix it. (Make the red tape go away and have it make sense to the average patient would be a good start...we don't need 5 people deciding if one guy can or cannot have treatment for whatever reason...and how long he can have it...and...well, you get the idea.) OK - that's another dream... |
| Interests | American and British History (Aren't they one and the same, really?), Geneaology, Classic Movies and lots of other stuff... |
| Favorite movies | The Right Stuff, Wall-E (anything Pixar, for that matter!), Anything Tracy and Hepburn or Tracy or Hepburn!, Most Marx Brothers films, The Three Musketeers (1974 version!), 1776, Any MGM Musical...Astaire and Rogers...Gene Kelly (especially with Sinatra!), Anything Monty Python... |
| Favorite music | Rock - Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who Jazz - Stan Kenton, Vocals - Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Jimmy Durante, Louis Armstrong (I could be here forever on this one) |
| Favorite books | Usually the book I'm currently reading! Okay - some true favorites... My Life and Hard Times - James Thurber, Anything Thurber actually! Robert Benchley also. John Adams - David McCullough Michael and Jeff Shhara are both brilliant historical novelists. The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Harry Potter series, I could go on and on...again, a wide variety! |
