| Interests | Nearly everything, nearly everything, and nearly everything. |
| Favorite Movies | Practically all of them!-- from Hollywood's retina-blinding & inner-ear blasting action movies to the most complex of the 1960s French and German auteur films to the heart-rending/desolating films of the Italian Realists to the legion of stylistically-different & ingenious storytellers who emerged from Post-WWII Japan, to the other, many, broad categories and specific artists that adorn the Christmas-like console tree of Le Cinema. |
| Favorite Music | Clasical Music and Bob Dylan. |
| Favorite Books | An ENDLESS list, mostly literary, mostly poetry, but with voracious snackings on noir fiction by American detective novelists from Hammett, Chandler, and Cain to Lawrence Block, Michael Connelly, James Lee Burke, and dozens more. |
