Reading, hiking, walking, working out. I like making things with my hands. I am interested in building green and I like new technology.I love my wife and our wonderful dogs and kittens. A dog's love is great, it makes you feel like the luckiest person in the world. And a Cat's? It is even more outrageous because they are so independent. When they jump up into you lap and gaze up at you and squeak, "Pet me," it just melts your heart.
One of my concerns is how to stop these mindless wars in the Middle East. There may not be an outcome to the mess that GW started that we would like. Get have to get over it. Helping people would be a good place to start.
I you have ever wondered whether animals are "self aware" or intelligent beyond simple native instincts, it is clear that you have not paid close attention to cats or dogs. If you are still not with me on this, then you need to see the following video.

Music
Thanks to "MySpace" I discovered new talents of an old friend. A. M. was in a band where she played guitar and was lead singer. In addition to being a great snowboarder, a consumate Chef, and a computer graphics superstar, she also sings with a terrific voice.
Oh, and I like pop, rock, 60s and 70s favorites. I like jazz a favorite is Ramsey Lewis' "Barefoot Sunday Blues." Most favorite musician is Sherm Mitchell. He is a black friend with the bluest eyes you ever saw and he can play any wind instrument that is made. He plays and writes Jazz. I used to say I liked Country, but now I guess I just like the Dixie Chicks and a few of the players on the Blue Grass circuit. Baroque music is also a favorite. Oh yeah, and I like that music they play in New Orleans. Marcia Ball.

Movies
Hmmmm, Little Miss Sunshine! Alan Arkin was great and that little girl, Unbelievable. Another unbelievable girl, sorry, woman is Famke Janssen. I love all the X (Wo)Men. The tenderness she brings to action films, unbelievable. All of Jesica Alba's films, too. I think "Z," Chinatown, the "Bourne" group of films, Fantastic Planet, Powers of 10, Gas Light, Stone Pillow, The Fearless Vampire Killers, the new King Kong, Lord of the Rings trilogy, the "Harry Potter" series, and almost anything with Keira Knightley in it. Erin Brockovitch and the Pelican Brief. There is one Actess, Laura Bro, from Denmark, whom I would love to see but cannot find over here. There are just so many good movies. Why can't i find any when I want to rent one?
Television
A wide range: Weeds, Desparate Housewives, Boston Legal, the L word, most of the Sci Fi channel series, Smallville, House, Grey's Anatomy, Six feet under, Brothers & Sisters, Bill Maher, the Closer, Bones, Buffy the [fearless] vampire slayer, My So Called Life. You get the idea.
James Oliver Curwood's Navarre was the first real book I ever read when I was 9 or 10. Peter Beagle's the last Unicorn.The Forgotten Beasts of Eld and Kathy Curtis who recommended it. The Clan of the Cave Bear series. Sci fi, fantasy, spy, medical mysteries, all too numerous to mention. Fast food Nation. Shrub. Ominvore's Dilemma. An Inconvenient Truth.
Heroes
Maud Fontenoy & Petra Nemcova are heroes who have been tested by the Seas and continue to show the world what incredible women they are. Paul Wellstone and Jackie Robinson. My late uncle Morrie, Morris L. Sorkin M.D. When I was about 10 years old, Wheaties cereal put pictures of sports figures, printed on tin about 5" X 7", in their cereal boxes as "prizes." I had one of Jackie Robinson hanging over my bed. I wish I still had it.
Here is a "first place" winner. She is also a sweetheart, not to be believed. It looks like the mares do have it all.

About me:
I am married and I live on the edge/in Atlanta. I have two English Springers and two cats, but no "children." I plan to build a house in North Florida. I lived in the SF Bay Area for 16 years and Truckee for 13 years. I also lived in Sacramento and the Monterey area for several years. I have been a librarian, a builder, and most recently an RN. For most of my adult(?) life I drove a '74 MGB. I am a liberal (I guess that means Democrat) and don't get me started on GW. As for Democrats, I wish the Democrats would act like Democrats.

I like warm weather, our dogs & kittens, Alison Krauss, hiking in the mountains, walking on the beach, and I like very large, non-fat lattes with sugar free vanilla. I love coffee ice cream, Mexican food, Thai food, and Japanese food, among others. I enjoy cooking. My last motorcycle was a Honda 500-4.

I have a close friend whom I have known longer than most of you, who are reading this page, have been around. Tiger has ridden his 800 BMW up and down and across this country more times than anyone has a right to and still hold a real job. I love reading and listening to his long rider poetry, he is a modern Mark Twain. He has also written a novel that belongs at the top of Oprah's reading list. I urge you to visit his website by clicking on the button below.
