Interests

  • General

    I like turbocharged cars, Ibanez guitars, and vintage watches. Physical activity - walking, hiking, biking. I know with certainty that youthful appearance is more than just lucky genes; maintaining physical and mental activity, preparing one's own food, and avoiding miserable people are an important aspect of a healthy life.
  • Music

    Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson, Vince Gill, Michael Parks, Django Reinhart, J.S.Bach. Both listening and playing.
  • Movies

    Gone in 60 Seconds (both of them), Then Came Bronson (pilot), Rocky. I admire Jim Bronson because he didn't let anything bother him. I envy Rocky because he had Adrian. Gone in 60 Seconds - well, I just like the fast cars of my generation.
  • Television

    Jimmy Kimmel, Biggest Loser. Anybody remember the TV show Then Came Bronson?
  • Books

    Sudoku. I can read a little bit at a time and not worry about following a plot.
  • Heroes

    Thomas Edison, Rocky Balboa, Jim Bronson. Edison was so smart that a lot of people thought he was retarded when he was a kid (Einstein suffered the same problem). He made something of himself despite the stupidity around him. When nobody believed in him, Rocky had Adrian. Rocky brought out the incredible beauty that nobody saw in Adrian, and Adrian brought out Rocky's world-class potential. Jim Bronson seemed to be wandering restlessly, but he actually got to where he was going because he wanted nothing more than to simply move on.
