Introduction | I'll be leaving a lifelong job in the next while, but my working life is far from over. I've an earnest desire to remain very active by leading walking tours in Paris, France (for individuals or very small 'over fifty' groups). That's my hope, and I'm working diligently toward this goal. |
Interests | Walking, reading, collecting classic and foreign films, keeping fit, trying to learn French. |
Favorite Movies | Amelie, au Hasard Balthazar, Baraka, Bicycle Thieves, Cabaret, Dodes'Ka-Den, Far From the Madding Crowd, Most Woody Allen Films, Spring Summer Fall Winter... and Spring, Sleuth, The Apu Trilogy, The Ballad of Narayama, The Double Life of Veronique, The Return of Martin Guerre, The Return of the Native, The Spirit of the Beehive, Wit |
Favorite Music | Some oldies and new pop, but mostly music in the baroque fashion. Also world music, mostly traditional. |
Favorite Books | Currently, only books relating to the history of France, and specifically Paris. Prior to this undertaking, favourite authors would be James Joyce, Somerset Maugham, Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Thomas Hardy - particularly Hardy. Right now I'm a little busier, and have to take my fiction in the form of film. |
