About Me

I like eighteenth-century French painting. Reason is an individual's only absolute. I have difficulty tolerating New York during the course of the summer. Alexander Hamilton is pretty much my favorite politician.

Gombrich

Music:

Philip Glass's "A Descent into the Maelström," Glen Yarborough's "The Greatest Adventure," Dmitri Shostakovich's "Waltz II" from the "Jazz Suite No. 2," Franz Schubert's "Piano Trio in E Flat," Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Requiem," and George Frideric Handel's "Sarabande"

Movies:

"Dangerous Liaisons," "Barry Lyndon," "THX 1138," "The Empire Strikes Back"

Books:
