About Me

Of my three score and a few more years, I have lived only three of them more than a bicycle ride from one of the Great Lakes. I'm a "somewhat combative pacifist and a fairly cooperative anarchist," after the example of Grace Paley (1922-2007).

Interests

  • The Great Lakes
  • Peak Oil research
  • Gardening.

Favorite Movies

  • One favorite: The Duellists. Ridley Scott's first (1977) film.

Favorite Music

  • Afro-Cuban
  • Faure's Requiem
  • Shostakovich Symphony No. 7 in C Major "Leningrad"
  • Charles Mingus Goodbye Porkpie Hat
  • My advance directives for a funeral suggest playing some of each
  • I should make a mix-tape so I can check out how it will sound coming out of a boombox on a bluff somewhere overlooking Lake Michigan (not to mention whether it might be too long
  • vis a vis: "Let's get to the drinkin'.").

Favorite Books

  • CURRENT READING: The White tiger by Aravind Adiga
  • A Question of Torture by Alfred W. McCoy of the University of Wisconsin
  • and ON ORDER: A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities That Arise in Disaster by the incomparable Rebecca Solnit
