About Me

Describe Yourself:

Fifty in years but a lot younger in my head.
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:

Nice folks, other writer looking to swap editing, and anything else interesting. It's like going to a flea market. Never go looking for anything specific or you could miss something great.

Interests

Favorite Music, Artists, Genres:

I enjoy discovering fresh sounds from artists old and new, rap to easy listening and alternative to jazz. Intriguing styles and entertaining tunes are everywhere.
Favorite Books, Writers, Genres:

There are so many books that could fit in this list (reading is a personal addiction) it would impossible to name a few. Ones that had profound effect on me are: Hobbit/Lord of the Rings, Buddhism without Belief by Stephen Batchelor, A Walk In the Woods, every Dictionary/Thesarus I have ever picked up., Not in any order: Thich Naht Hanh, Tolkien, Bryson, F. Paul Wilson, Twain, Gerrold, Hunter S. Thompson are examples.
Favorite Movies, Actors, Genres:

Movies that entertain.
Favorite TV Shows, Actors:

Again, no special order, and certainly not all: Red Dwarf (BBC SciFi comedy), Lost, Gilmore Girls (some of the finest writing on TV), Gilligan's Island, Antiques Roadshow, Firefly., This list sure has changed. Now I get DVDs from the library and I am hooked on Dead Like Me, The Wire, Planet Earth, Battlestar Galactica, and on TV I enjoy How I Met Your Mother, Fringe and Survivor.
Favorite Places:

The Great Stupa of Dharmakaya in Colorado and sitting with my Center for Pragmatic Buddhism sangha here in St. Louis.
Interests and Activities:

Using my skills to promote positive development in myself and my sangha through my practice., Getting out into the woods - hiking and backpacking - and the travel it takes to get there. Taking time to write everyday.
