Interests

  • General

    Writing Novels, speaker, and sportsman-- cycling, hiking, nordic skiing, golfing. I love it. Ballroom dancing, and of course, I try to squeeze in 40 hours of reading a day, or week. Audio books help a lot in that regard.
  • Music

    Wynton Marsalis, Carlos Nakai, Faith Hill, Eric Clapton, Barbara Streisand. Sir Neville Mariner. Seiji Ozawa. Carlos Santana

    Does anyone know who this guy is?

  • Movies

    Recent flicks I've seen and enjoyed. Love Actually, Blood Diamond. Actors I like-- Tommy Lee Jones. Saw 'No Country for Old Men...that nihlism is benumbing, isn't it? Wow, I must've seen something since then. Ah yes, the International Bicycle Film Festival was in town. A legally blind mountain biker. "Now just a bit to the left there Bill or you will be over the cliff." Actors I like: Ioan Gruffudd, Steven Seagal, Emily Blunt, Move over Sandra Bullock, Diane Mills has it now... the Guvernator (If only he'd stuck to the silver screen...
  • Television

    Not much. I occassionally catch booknotes on CSPAN. 'The Unit,' Boston Legal. AMC. I refuse to pay $70.00 a month to watch commercials on cable or dish. Maybe the internet will remedy that oddity.
  • Books

    I'm on a Tolstoy kick right now. Anna Karena, War and Peace. Blueprint for Democracy by Mike Meyersfield, it's all about the Federalist. Want to know how WMD buffaloed the US into Iran? I recommend 'Curveball.' Oh the perils of gleaning information from human intelligence. Fiction authors I like include David Baldacci, TC Boyle. My reading list is very eclectic. Some that come to mind...History of Honor-James Bowman. Five Days in London, Enders Game, The Man in the High Tower, Ivanhoe, David Copperfield, Huckleberry Finn, Joe Haldeman-The Forever War. Jack Finney- Time after Time, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I review books at Amazon.com so cruise over there for the low down on a whole variety of books. Did John McCain really write Character is Destiny. Ernest Shackleton is hard-core.
  • Heroes

    Heroes I've seen in person include Colin Powell, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton. OK, I don't get out much. Sherlock Holmes is a good study. Others foks I admire...Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Scouting movement, Carl Sagan-The Demon Haunted World- not a bad phrase, especially coming from an aetheist. Barack Obama. Mom, Dad, God and oh, my wife!
