Most music but I seem to listen to New Wave and Classic Rock on XM. I love the blues and all of the blues products - Zepplin, Stones, and others. Pink Floyd and the Beatles always!

Blade Runner, Paths of Glory, The Razors Edge (book too), The Wall, King of Hearts, Harold and Maude, Casablanca, Something Wild...

I watch too much TV, mostly movies, and like the Law and Orders, CSIs, Burn Notice, Two and a Half Men. Have you seen House of Cards on Netflix? - outstanding! I am also a fan of some shows like Northern Exposure and The Prisoner (my all time favorite show) you don't see anymore - I was not too excited by the remake.

Love my Kindle!!!! Journey to the End of the Night (Voyage au bout de la nuit, 1932) "…I cannot refrain from doubting that there exist any genuine realizations of our deepest character except war and illness, those two infinities of nightmare," I like all of Jack Kerouac's books except Dr. Sax.

I like to watch. We are a Red Sox Nation family and get to Fenway whenever we can.

Renewable energy, sailing, cooking, having fun. I have a Sony DSLR and am getting into digital photography. I have started riding my bike and hope to start doing a lot of it - in my 30's I used to do a lot of 100 mile rides but that was also 50lbs ago and I am hoping the riding will help with that.

I used to want to be an astronaut but these days my dreams are simple - live a good life which, in general, is being realized. Someday I would like to sail around the world.

My sense of humor and I am a good cook. Physically, there is not much to brag about anymore but I have been losing weight (60 lbs so far) and working on my health and fitness. I am told my eyes are very expressive so I will go with that - those windows to the soul.

I am a Cape Cod boy and do wear shoes from time to time. I used to be more active but I am now an out of shape old guy - how did that happen? I have been going to the gym and riding my bike lately (lost 95 lbs since most of my profile pictures were taken) I still have an active mind... I am married and have one son and a dog and love all three.

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should... be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." - Cicero - 55 BC (when will we learn...) Klaatu barada nikto

“Through the poet, dull-witted mortals win symbolical experience of the divine; as in the mystery of the chalice and the host, through his words they enjoy the body and the blood of infinity…Since the gods are mute, the poet speaks in their name and in their spirit, the sculptor of the imperishable in a life where everything else is fleeting.” —Stefan Zweig
