Pretty mellow tastes:
New Age
Classical
Jazz
pop
some light rock
and electro dance house music

Dreamgirls
Star Wars
Lord of the Rings
History Boys
Pan's Labyrinth
Good Night and Good Luck
Brokeback Mountain (RIP Heath Ledger!)

I'm more author oriented:Sue Grafton's mysteries
Samuel R. Delaney
mainly popular fiction, although I'm currently reading (and enjoying) Solzhenitzyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

writing 'n' riding (meaning writing science fiction and bicycling--no motorcycle...sorry!); hiking; going to the gym; yoga, and anything else I can do naked.

Happily partnered gay guy living on Seattle's Capitol Hill. Been bearded since 1985 and won't shave it off for anything (or anyone!) Trying to get a novel published. Also LOVE politics, so I'm in hog heaven this campaign season.
