What I'm Reading

Well, there’s always a backlog of reading material...but favorites include: The New Yorker (and not just for the cartoons), The Wall Street Journal (especially the Marketplace section), Down East Magazine (real estate listings to foster dreams of escaping to Maine), Entrepreneur and Fast Company magazines (for Horatio Alger tales of rags-to-riches)...plus, a towering pile of fiction.

Favorite Pastimes

Hiking, kayaking, skiing, beachcombing, reading, reading, & reading.
