Introduction | About Me: I was: • Raised as a Nihilist, now a Former Episcopalian. I Love: • Our Cats; My Wife; Our Friends; Our Life. (In that order.) I Like: • All kinds of Music: Medieval, Renaissance & Baroque, Hard Rock, Trip Hop, World Music, Folk Music of the World, and vast innumerable genres. • Weird (and Non-Weird) Movies (mostly weird). • Gurdjieff, Zen. • Libraries: Literacy, open access to government information, intellectual freedom, other (secret) subversive librarian stuff. • Politics, peace, justice, all-around general subversiveness. • Words, English, linguistics, grammar. • Science: Armchair math and physics as metaphysical metaphor. • Taking Long Walks on the (frozen, foggy, misty) Beach (Aimée and I did it once, and we both really liked it). • Stuff. Things. Objects. Ideas. • Lots of Other Things I can't think of right now.... |
