58, marine biologist; Portland, Oregon. I deal with offshore fishing regulations and policy.
Music: Right now I'm listening to Bob Dylan. I missed the iron maiden time but I do have one Judas Priest song on my mp3 list at the moment (you've got another thing coming). Django Reinhart, Doc Watson, Arlo Guthrie, Led Zeppelin, Janice Joplin, The gorillas, Nirvana, Cat Power, Portishead, Dave Carter (points to anyone who knows that one), The Doors, Jimi, Greatful Dead, Black Sabbath, Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, Michelle Shocked, and other similar things.
Hobbies: Songwriting, guitar, piano, painting, drawing, writing, grampa-ing, fishing, meditating, scuba (less of that these days), sailing, woodworking and other similar things.
Favorite books: Catch-22, Where the sidewalk ends, Another Roadside Attraction, Botany of Desire, Cosmos, Cat's Cradle, From Here to Eternity, Old Man and the Sea.
Religion: Unitarian (I do try to practice buddism but that isn't really religion the way I do it)
I was raised in the Cascades at the foot of Mt. Pilchuck above Lake Roesiger if anyone knows where that is. It was extremely remote in the 50's and 60's. Loggers and ,.. um.. .well, I guess that's all there was.
Lot's of colleges but BA Political Science and BFA Ceramics U.W. MS Marine Biology WWU. Long time ago.
I have held many other jobs: Butcher, Mural Artist, Graphic Artist (pre computers), and marketing consultant.
Also, if anyone has any photos of Lake Kelcema (the old boy scout camp up the mt. loop highway before big-4)I would love to see them. I climed the cliff on the opposite shore when I was young without ropes and it has grown to several thousand feet in my mind. I would love to know how big it really is.
