| Introduction | Early middle-aged, younger looking than you. And hardly any arthritis. Really. Resident of the Bay Area, though formerly of somewhere in the Netherlands - living in Europe with a US passport can be an adventure. I should also mention that I am not a Red-Sea pedestrian. Make of that what you will. |
| Interests | Various, ranging from wonderfully greasy foods that guarantee major acid indigestion, through odd linguistic stuff, to poetry. Plus tobacco and Talmud-Torah. |
| Favorite Movies | King of Masks, A Chinese Ghost Story, Mommy Dearest, Apocalypse Now, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spinal Tap, The Big Lebowski. |
| Favorite Music | Cajun walzes, Cantonese opera, Irish war songs, Rai, Bhangra. Plus unhappy Hokkien ballads and Mandarin nightclub songs of the thirties, forties, and fifties. |
| Favorite Books | Ada, Pale Fire, Pnin. |
