| Location | San Francisco Bay Area, California, United States |
| Introduction | Striving to be kind and good. Struggling to be positive in outlook. As attentive as I can be to this amazing world. Hoping to give more than I take. Thankful for the people and animals in my life. |
| Interests | Literature, poetry especially; history, especially history of religion and American history; gardening and nature; art, theatre, music--the things that make us most human; people, travel. |
| Favorite movies | Recent faves include: "Happy Go Lucky," "Milk," "Lives of Others," and on t.v. "True Blood," "Dexter," and "Big Love" |
| Favorite music | Anything except Chinese opera music. Most especially: Celtic (Scots bands esp.), funk, rock (Bruce, Bowie, Talking Heads, vintage years 1964-1980), bluegrass (Ralph Stanley), old-timey, blues, some pop, classical. Not so much into jazz, but see that as a failing in my intellect. |
| Favorite books | The Bible, The Tao Te Ching, Dostoevsky's "The Idiot," Willa Cather's work, Thomas Hardy's work, "The English Patient," and poetry by Rilke, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Yannis Ritsos, et al. |
