About Me

I worked in Wasington, DC for many years and I just returned to Illinois a few years ago. I hate the winters here but I'm glad to be around real people again.
I worked for a daily newspaper for a while, but now I am doing all freelance work and loving it. Click on the image below to visit my web page:

My Interests

I like just about anything that has to do with photography. I also love to travel... I have been to Alaska and seven countries, and now wanderlust is starting to hit me again.

I'd like to meet:

People who can always look on the bright side of life.

Music:

I like mostly oldies, especially from the 60's and particularly the British Invasion. I like most 70's and 80's stuff too. I just discovered "Golden Brown" (the song on my profile) by the Stranglers. The song was in the movie "Snatch" with Brad Pitt and I liked it then, but I never did the research to find out more about the song.

Movies:

The Secret of Roan Inish *** The Godfather *** LA Story *** Y tu Mama Tamabien *** American History X / Edward Norton. He shoulda gotten an Oscar for that. *** The Day of the Jackal (the original one, not the Bruce Willis one) *** The Graduate (I loved Dustin Hoffman in that, but not in much else since) *** Goldfinger, Dr. No, and almost all of Sean Connery's Bond movies. *** Pulp Fiction Fargo, doncha know *** Office Space *** The Patriot and Braveheart (not just because I like Mel Gibson, but I do have ancestors who were Scottish and who fought in the Revolutionary War). *** Joan Allen because she's from Rochelle. Plus she's a talented actress.

Television:

Scrubs! It's one of the few shows made in the last decade that is actually worth watching. Other than that, I don't watch much television except news shows. Even on Sunday mornings I don't like to miss Meet the Press.

Books:

"John Adams" and "1776" by David McCullough. Almost anything by John LeCarre. "The Great Picture Hunt 2" by David LaBelle. "Video Shooter" by Barry Braverman.
