About Me

I think in only the spoken word.

My Interests

In general, my days start with a full report. I'm usually not prepared for it. Shortly, the Hand Washing Parade begins. I have my first banana at about 9:30, and finish my first coffee by 10. Then, everybody starts parrotting around about "what's for lunch?". Soon, the luch arrangements are made. I try to eat my lunch alone, but am often followed. After that, I get sick of the radio and put on a cd in the hopes that it will repel the trenchers as they make their Hand Washing Parade. Everybody stops pretending to work around 5, but I usually keep busy right until 6, then pack up and go home.
Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

I'd like to meet:

Musicians, especially bass players. People who know their history. People who can read a 700 page book.

Movies:

are those, like, 'talkies'?

Television:

the shopping channel. oh, how i love the shopping channel.

Books:

My relationship with books is almost lifelong. I have owned many, many books. At a point in my life, I gave all of them away. Now, I have many around me, and I read them one at a time. Right now, I'm reading "Nickel And Dimed", by Barbara Ehrenreich. Her maiden name is Alexander, which is directly from Kentucky. Or so she says.

Heroes:

ha! heroes..here's Satchmo, who's more interesting than pretty much most everybody. Too bad he passed away.

My Blog
