If I had my druthers I would probably play the guitar all day a lot of days. Lately I've been reading comics. My wife is a librarian and a gardener and a great person.

    I do have a question - I work for a public library and found a copy of The Seeker's Way by Dave Fleming, are there any other titles you would reccomend as must reads?

    Thank you for your help !

    be nice if i got your name right, you know i always try to spell michael with the a in front, but spell check kicks it back for not being capitalized, and i think it is coming back for a misspell, so i change it:)

    Hey Michael, I heard on the radio today that Minneapolis and Seattle were tied for "Most Literate City" in the U.S. for 2008. Hurrah!

    I haven't talked to you in a VERY LONG time. I read your bio/profile. I'm glad you have your hair. I hate spiders. I love cats, I have 6... and a lab. The dog, not the scientific room.

    Hi Michael:

    Your youthful life on a remote island sounds wonderful! What a change it must have been to move into Seattle . . . hopefully not too drastic!

    Yes, those are my shoes in the picture, returning from a fishing trip. Given my poor fishing capabilities, I find great comfort in relaxing on the bow with a beer (or 2) as adequate compensation.

    Best wishes,
    Scott
    P.S. Wow, you can count Edward Abbey as a friend . . . that's incredible! He must have been quite a colorful and interesting conversationalist!
