| Introduction | I am a female person living in America in very tenuous circumstances. |
| Interests | The fact that I find this a difficult question suggests that my life is not in pristine condition at the moment. Though I believe in neither heaven nor hell, if I could visit any place, I would like to go and take a peek through the door of hell. If what I see there is what I am living right now, I would like to go anyplace else, except someone else's hell. |
| Favorite movies | Movie Maven I am not. "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and "The Sound of Music" were pretty good. Be nice to your family. Have good manners. Follow your heart. Speak up for yourself. Laugh. Wonder. And do the right thing. Sounds like lessons to live by. I enjoyed the Bourne series and "Do the Right Thing", too. |
| Favorite music | "Stabat Mater" by Pergolesi. "Pachelbel's Canon" in D. "Sufi Music of Turkey". Anything Nina Simone. |
| Favorite books | The irony of the situation is that I read. I read a great deal. I call people when I finish a good book and I tell them, "I read a great book. It's about so-n-so or such-n-such." Then, I promptly forget the book - title, author, characters and all. Isn't that something? One book I do recall is this Kafkaesque autobiographical piece entitled "Twelve Years a Slave.' Now that book is haunting. Can you imagine being a free person all your life. taking care of your wife and children, going to work every day, and then suddenly being kidnapped off of the streets and sold into slavery for twelve years. Though verbose I appreciate Robert Fisk's efforts to record his perceptions of America's impact in the Middle East. |
