About me

Gender Male
Location California
Introduction I'm really quite dull. The most interesting thing about me, other than that I married the greatest woman in the world, is that I'm a fourth-generation Californian, and there aren't too many of us around!
Interests It'll be easier to list what I *don't* have an interest in. The Universe fascinates me, from the Big Picture to the minutiae; some things just fascinate me more than others ;-)
Favorite Movies Time Bandits, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Seven, To Kill a Mockingbird, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Some Like it Hot, Alexander Nevsky, Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Favorite Music Almost anything classical, folk or big band jazz, as well as movie scores. Beethoven, Stravinsky, Bernard Herrmann, the Kingston Trio, Brahms, John Adams, Danny Elfman and Dvorak are particular favorites.
Favorite Books "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert Heinlein, "Adams and Jefferson: the Tumultuous Election of 1800" by John Ferling, anything by Glen Cook or Larry Niven, "Freakonomics" by Levitt and Dubner, anything by J.R.R. Tolkien, the novels of Thomas Hardy, I think I'd better stop before I spend all day at this ;-)

You can whistle and steam can whistle, so why do you sing in the shower?

I don't. But I do listen to music while I'm in the shower :-)
