I am drawn here to people with wit, charm, honesty, and openness. I'm usually out for a chuckle and a hug, but sometimes I have been known to go for a slap and tickle, cybernetically. A little naughty never killed anybody. Even more rarely, I'll pop out a story or poem, but I think I may well be the world's laziest writer.

Interests
I like well written stories and poetry and I like erotic photography, particularly black and whites. I don't generally care much for what I call "open heart surgery" erotica. I have my own tumblr page that I post on frequently that shows my interests, I think. Take a peek, the link is below.

I love good music played loud. And I have a dog named Apollo, a standard poodle who owns my heart lock stock and barrel. Daily trips to the dog park is a blast for both of us.

Favorite Books
Catch-22. Another Roadside Attraction. Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar. Time Enough for Love. The Catcher in the Rye. For Whom the Bell Tolls. A Moveable Feast. I also like poetry. My library card is well used.

Favorite Authors
Kurt Vonnegut, Robert Heinlein, Hunter Thompson, Jack Kerouac, Tom Robbins, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Charles Bukowski. J.D. Salinger, e e cummings, Hemingway, Snyder, Corso, Ginsburg, Heller, Royko, Kazantzakis, on and on.

Favorite Movies
Aw, who really cares? I'm a film nut so there's a lot.

Favorite TV Shows
I highly recommend the Max tv series called the Pitt. Noah Wylie (ER) is absolutely amazing.

Favorite Music
I know it when I hear it. I like to explore different genres. I'm particularly fond of samba, Motown, the Great American Songbook, the classic singers/songwriters, some of the new stuff, and vocal jazz. Kat Edmonson is a recent find. John Prine. Sinatra, J.J. Cale, Mark Knopfler. Railroad Earth. Nicola Conte. Antonio Carlos Jobim. Lucinda Williams. Supertramp. Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield. Leonard Cohen. Of special interest is Rhiannon Giddens, who specializes in American Root Music.
