Movies I Like
Favorite movies One of my all time favorite movies is the Rankin Bass cartoon version of The Hobbit. The new Hobbit movies were just gross. I like The Empire Strikes Back before CGI. I have 1989 copies of the Original Trilogy on VHS. At some point I’m going convert them in MP4 so I can…

Permanency
What do you enjoy most about writing? With both my writing and my art I like to imagine that it will outlive me. The idea that I have left something in the world that will mark that I was here is appealing to me. Most of the things that I do are very transient. No…

Comfort Zone
What brings you peace? I want prosperity more than peace. I spend too much time in my comfort zone as it is. Having more and importantly being more seems to be at odds with any desire for peace. A lot of people don’t want drama and don’t want stress. I would like more of both…

Check List
Most important things to carry. I went to Walgreens today even though I wasn’t scheduled. When I leave I check for seven things. I have to have my phone, my keys, my wallet, my handkerchief, my lanyard, a Walgreens’ pen, and a snack. Any other time I leave the house I still go through the…
