Interests: Writing;reading; observing odd behavior; performing odd behavior; World and American History(although there is not future in it);family history; Sports in small doses.

Favorite Movies:To Kill a Mockingbird;Star Wars 4-6;Ben Hur; The Grapes of Wrath; Inherit the Wind; Star Trek 2, 4, 6; In The Heat of the Night; The Wizard of OZ; The School of Rock; King Kong all versions; The Lord of the Rings Trilogy; Too Many Others Too Mention.

Favorite Music:The Beatles (dated myself there a wee bit); any music regardless of genre that I determine to be "good." It has to have a good beat, lyrics I can understand and that mean something significant. This leads me to Rock and Roll from the 50s to today; contemporary music from the 20s through the current year; Classical music that is profound especially Beethoven Bach and Mozart.

Favorite Books:To Kill a Mockingbird (better than the movie); It's easier to list authors:
Jules Vern
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Robert Jordan (he died on me)
Terry Goodkind (except the end book
Frank Baum
Kurt Vonnegut
Orson Scott Card
J.K.Rowling
(A bit heavy on the Sci-Fi and Fantasy but we must all cope somehow)
William Shakespeare
