Interests

  • General

    I have an interest in film, literature and music ranging from James Bond, The Beatles and Monty Python to Shakespeare, Mozart and the Simpsons.

    Frm Russia with Love

    I enjoy history, used book stores, going for walks, hiking and bike rides. I enjoy reading, love movies and have a huge collection of books and DVDs. I also collect vintage movie posters from the 60s to the present.

    Please check out my seller accounts with Amazon and eBay.

    I enjoy political talk as long as it's respectful, sincere and thoughtful even if it ends in disagreement. I have yet to meet anyone who enjoys the company of someone filled with anger and negativity.

  • Music

    I love film music! Some of the greatest composers of the genre are John Barry, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, James Horner, Maurice Jarre, Henry Mancini, Ennio Morricone, Lalo Schifrin, Max Steiner, Dimitri Tiomkin, Franz Waxman and John Williams.

    10cc Original Soundtrack

    I also like classical: Bach, Beetoven, Mozart, Ravel, Wagner and others; and pop: AC/DC, The Beatles, David Bowie, Depeche Mode, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Psychedelic Furs, The Rolling Stones, The Who and 80s music.

  • Movies

    I enjoy movies from all genres and eras and have too many favorite titles to list. I have a particular interest in Classic Hollywood, the films of the 1960s; Cold War-espionage-thrillers; horror films made by Universal Studios in the 1930s, 40s and 50s and then re-invented by Hammer Films in the 1950s, 60s and 70s.

    Universal Monsters Stamps

    I think the best films of all time were made between 1953-1983 - filmmaking entered a period of malaise after that which continues to this day. The two magazines I subscribe to, Cinema Retro and Video Watchdog, cover this period well.

    Star Wars Stamps

    Some of my favorite actors are Brigitte Bardot, Humphrey Bogart, Charles Bronson, Charlie Chaplin, James Coburn, Sean Connery, Peter Cushing, Clint Eastwood, Judy Garland, Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, Charlton Heston, Bob Hope, Burt Lancaster, Christopher Lee, Steve McQueen, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Peter O'Toole, Vincent Price, Peter Sellers, James Stewart, John Wayne.

I'd like to have the cable companies offer ala-cart bundling of cable so we can choose to pay for the channels we want!

About me:

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my profile. I'm a single, easy going guy, a father of two adult children and a very young grandparent of one. I also have a dog and two cats.

Quiet Man

I enjoy relaxing with a good cup of coffee, coffee shops, watching classic films, reading and listening to talk radio. I've been cable TV free since January 2008 so I don't watch a lot of TV. I also enjoy used book stores, movies, road trips, museums, conversation, bike rides and spending time with family and friends. Did I mention that I like movies? Check out my Movie MySpace site for more about my interest in film.

High Noon

I'm a single, masculine man who is attracted to feminine Transgendered Women. I've had the pleasure of knowing, loving and developing friendships with some wonderful Transgendered women. I think you are the most beautiful women on Earth and I have nothing but the greatest respect, support and admiration for you. I also love Showgirls and I think they are very talented, special, remarkable and beautiful human beings. I am not here to "hook-up" or to seek sex partners. That is not in my nature. I am here seeking friendships and if I should ever have the pleasure of meeting you it will be as friends. While I am open to meeting someone special, that's not the reason for this page. I'm seeking friendships with anyone regardless of their gender, sexuality or "T" status.

High Plains Drifter

I'm a veteran with over 20 years of military service. In my professional life I've been a writer, editor, journalist, educator and public speaker. I've also supervised people and managed a variety of operations over the years. Check out my Military MySpace site for more about my military experiences.

I've lived in other parts of the United States and travelled all over Europe and Southwest Asia, but I love it here in Minnesota. I love it here because I feel at home and there's so much to see and do.
