CURRENT MISSION

To live deeply and suck all the marrow out of life.

ABOUT ME

I love meeting people. Fresh perspectives and interesting insights vitalize life. I get along best with people who look at this world with a unique/original/slightly skewed/humourous view. Also important to me: delicious food prepared with care; music of all kinds; the natural beauty of nature; not being too serious.

PHILOSOPHY

ask me again in 40 years, once I've had time to figure it out.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

For music, some of the many possibilities include Beethoven piano sonatas; Mahler symphonies; anything Bach; blues as only Billie Holiday can sing 'em; Bill Evans' jazz piano sketches; Indian sitar-and-tabla meditations; old-school funk; mellow indie; or great Canadian bands like Arcade Fire or the Hip

Movies: some favourites are Lars and the Real Girl; Moulin Rouge for its sheer exuberance; Dan in Real Life for its honesty; most anything with Dustin Hoffman or Meryl Streep. I also love foreign films and don't often watch Hollywood blockbusters. I volunteer at the local film fest every year.

Books: I've usually got five or six on the go, ranging from social studies to fiction to memoir. I also love modern and ancient poetry.
