I like communicatin​g with positive people and enjoy good conversation;​  I like meeting people...am somewhat a mixture of knowledge and ignorance, openness and resolve...al​l fighting for dominance...​ makes my own experiences all the more interesting.​

Photography,​ reading, writing, music.
I enjoy sipping delicious dark coffee; savor the taste of a fine red wine; love the feeling I get from petting a dog; enjoy laughing with friends; sharing a meal with others and the recalling of past times that will not be forgotten.

I like deciduous trees, like old brass boxes, like all seasons but especially the Fall, like the sound of children at play, the sound of spontaneous laughter, I like to study and discovering new things.  I like looking up in the sky to see the stars on fire, the hypnotic moon captivating my imagination and the total majesty and complexity of the galaxy.

Blues, jazz, classical, and classic rock & roll...

I mostly like the independent films, documentarie​s, old b&w films and mostly all the non-blockbus​ter Hollywood types.

Don't watch tv.

Too many to note; some interesting authors:  Charles Baxter, Paul Auster, Pete Hamill, Philip Roth, Raymond Carver, John Cheever, Frank Conroy, Patrick Lane.

"...and​ the music played on, insistently beating on the vulnerable hidden-away part of the soul that longs for the sweetness of another person like the sweetness of God...."​ [Niall Williams]
