I love books and movies, and head right to those topics, or the Reference section. I love to research and help people find answers to their questions.

Interests
Learning, books, movies, travel, running.

Books
Read mostly non-fiction - I love history, autobiography, science and philosophy. I'm reading more and more fiction - I have very diverse tastes, in non-fiction and fiction. I have many many books.

Have Travelled to . . .
Lived in England as a baby and spent a year there after college. Traveled throughout England, Scotland, and Wales. Flew on the Concorde three times. Played the Old Course at St. Andrews. Saw every castle and cathedral in Britain (almost), favorite: Ely Cathedral. Visited Paris three times. I lived in the mountains in Colorado for a year, solely for skiing purposes. I worked on oil rig supply boats (200') in the Gulf of Mexico for a year.

Wish to travel to . . .
At the top of my list: India, Greece, Egypt, Italy, China, Russia, Tibet, Nepal. I'd like to trek from Kathmandu to the base camps at Mount Everest. I think I want to see Mount Everest more than anything. I'd love to do a road trip throughout the United States and Canada.

Work
Degree in Finance, 15 years in business. Hated it - getting a business degree was the worst decision of my life. Attempting career switch to information science or library science, but I've only just begun.

Other stuff

Favorite types of movies, "foreign," documentaries (42-up, Small Wonders, Shoah, Life & Times of Harvey Milk, Brother's Keeper). Greatest things ever on american television, Twin Peaks, Cosmos, Lonesome Dove, The Civil War.
