Music, Movies, and Books

Depending on my mood and the situation, music, movies and books that teach a lesson or move the soul. A few of my favorite books are Shantaram, Kite Runner, Memories of a Geisha and a few great movies are Schindler's list, and The Shawshank Redemption.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wow....each day I find something new and amazing but a few over the top experiences would be competing in an international adventure race in Monterrey Mexico, whitewater kayaking in Tena, Equador, dancing salsa all night in Oaxacca, MX, deep water solo rock climbing in Cat Ba island, and parting with movie stars at the Cannes Film Festival.
