| Introduction | At my 27th birthday I was told, "You are retired already. There will be work in your life, but you are retired." About 10 years later I was given the name "Captain Vacation" as a term of scorn from co-workers. I've tried always to live up to those two inspiring moments. |
| Favorite movies | Bedazzled ( the first one ), Fritz Lang's Faust, 2001, Fantasia, currently The Great Beauty and The Grand Budapest Hotel, there are a lot of favorites. |
