音乐、电影和书籍

I love classical music, and enjoy others such as oldies rock, bluegrass, and some jazz. My favorite movie of all time is King of Hearts, followed by Young Frankenstein, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Cool Hand Luke. I mostly read non-fiction, but one of the pieces of fiction I enjoyed was Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham

Enjoyed Bastille Day on a bridge over the Seine just in front of the Eiffel Tower. I also rode on a train at over 300 km/hour. I have participated in the launches of many GPS and NASA missions.

教，学，和分享

I enjoy most people, but find myself weary of ideological zealots.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I have room in my home for guests, I can share my experiences and insights, and I can share what I know of Los Angeles and the other places I have lived or traveled. There will undoubtedly be opinion mixed with facts.
