音乐、电影和书籍

Books - an eclectic taste in fiction. The writing needs to be superb. I really enjoy "first" novels and all the ones that make the Booker list.
Movies - I'm a great fan of romantic comedies; got to be "in the mood" for anything too confrontational.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

There have been quite a few amazing things: The Aurora Borealis from the front yard when I was 9; a baby's first cry 1970 and again in 1983; Ground Zero in December 2001; the Great Pyramids of Giza out of my hotel window 2009; the Taj Mahal on Christmas Day 2010, fishermen in the mist on Inle Lake, Myanmar 2012, birth of my granddaughter on New Year's Eve, 2012, Baracoa, Cuba (Jan 2015) where Columbus made landfall in 1492 - awesome.

教，学，和分享

I'm always interested in another point of view - be it art and culture, politics, solving the problems of the world, schemes to stop war and violence forever.
