Music, Movies, and Books

I like "good" music of any genre. Some of my favorite music are classics like that of Ravel and other modern classical music. I love music from film. My favorite movies are Forrest Gump, LA Confidential and Jurassic Park. Science fiction and fantasy are my favorite genres for storytelling. My favorite books are the Bible, and books written by Michael Crichton, Ken Follet, Stephen King and George Martin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Before proposing to my wife, I taught myself goldsmithing to make the ring, and book binding to make the ring box/book. I managed to learn both skills well enough to make a beautiful ring and ring box combination before asking her to marry me.
