Music, Movies, and Books

Lover of Kirtan, especially Krishna Das!

Otherwise I appreciate all kinds of music, my vinyl collection is mostly the blues/folk/rock/funk coming out of the 1960's and 70's.

I could watch movies all day. Some favorites include Casablanca, Easy Rider, Blade Runner. Denis Villeneuve is my favorite director at the moment.

Ahh, books! Ram Dass (Be Here Now!) opened my world and heart. Antony de Mello is another wise teacher. Fiction favorites include The Alchemist (Paolo Coehlo is amazing); The Phantom Tollbooth by Norman Juster is also a beauty.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Thru Hiked the 2,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail (a six month journey!)
