My Interests

I'd like to meet:

My daemon:

Music:

Beatles, McCartney, The Weavers, Chad Mitchell Trio, John Denver, The Monkees, Van Morrison, PRJ-Cubed (1985-1986), The Rutles, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Ray Charles, Etta James, Peter Paul and Mary, Joni Mitchell, The Modernaires, Mike Nesmith, Simon and Garfunkel, Fastball, Dan Frechette, most any swing, classical, folk, etc. Had enough motown in my youth, thank you very much (growing up in Detroit's suburbs in the 70s).

Television:

West Wing, Daily Show, Colbert Report, shows that demonstrate how to build things to fling pianos at your enemies, etc.

Ok, I admit, I have been addicted to Lost since the end of the second season. So sue me!

Books:

Heroes:

Heroes usually die from their tragic flaw, so I have none. I DO look up to many people though. Unfortunately, many of them are dead as well (but not from tragic flaws).

I do like Bill Clinton and Howard Dean.

Keith Olberman rocks, as well.

Milestones and millstones

Finally beat Black and White. If you ever have a chance to play this game, don't. The last level is too hard, and then once you win that, there are two more mini-levels to beat. Then you win. Nothing ...

A Mixed Bag

Hmmm... Three nights of auditions? The return of the Passive-Aggressive supervisor? Freakin cold weather in Michigan? It's been a packed week for the Moonbeam.I've cast my operetta, Yeomen of the Guar...
