Sic transit gloria mundi... my brushes with media fame
Washington Post 17 September 2007
National Public Radio 3 April 2008 (click on "Listen Now" - scroll down to "'Round the clock")

What am I interested in? For starters, here's a tiny sampling:

• Phil Ochs, always first and foremost
• The Beatles, especially Lennon, but ok, Macca too; BeeGees (all of 'em); Cat Stevens, Moody Blues, the Eagles, Carly Simon, and many others — even some who are under age 50
• Marshall McLuhan (one of the most brilliant people I've ever known) - and other famous people I know (and no, I'm not going to give you their email addresses)
• the Amish
• the Bronx and a variety of denizens of it, especially
  • Science and its alumni and
  • the Yankees
• the Cape and London
• lights of the 60s like Murray the K, Abbie Hoffman and other cultural and political figures and events of the day - plus some from today
• tv shows and movies from all eras, like Once, Rome, ST:TNG, and Witness - to name just a few
• online services that I frequented in the 80s and 90s, for old-times sake
• a wide variety of presidential candidates and other political types, their families, and associated topics, although I'm beginning to wonder why - oh, yes, it's for the fame and fortune, that's right. See below for my Cayman Islands plans.

lots more

I also enjoy researching and creating articles for miscellaneous people and subjects that I had no particular prior interest in, or knowledge of, like Col Joye, Walt Witcover, Harrison J. Goldin and Philip Nadelman - and expanding stubs and editing other random articles - for the pure fun of it. And I do my share of vandal-reverting, because people who destroy other people's work really piss me off. I have at least 2000 pages on my watchlist - so if I miss something that you want me to see, please leave me a note or send me an email.

Off the top of my head, I have been accused of being on the staffs of Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, John Edwards, and Chuck Schumer among others. And now I'm apparently a Republican, and again, but the second guy apologized. I'm also possibly a POV warrior for Nancy Reagan. I will be retiring to the Cayman Islands shortly with the riches I'm gathering through my Wikipedia editing of political pages. Don't forget to write.

This user loathes, but is forced to observe, Daylight Saving Time.

And now they moved it up. The farmers will be my undoing.



And finally... thank you, Ross from Brisbane - B - and susan.

For good humour and excellence in editing, I present this barnstar to the multitalented and admirably coherent Tvoz. Rossrs 06:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

		The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
		Making a Washington Post story for your vandalism reverting skillz is worthy of a barnstar.[1] Congratulations! B 02:33, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

That is all, for now.
