Interview / Entrevue

Well…not a book per se but Mad Magazine. I thought it was too subversive!

In Huckleberry Finn – when Huck finds out if he saves the slave Jim, he’ll go to hell. “All right then, I’ll just go to hell.”

Cluttered!

Baseball scores, my golf game, my vegetable garden, etc...

To invent a time machine. I have a nagging feeling I was born in the wrong century.
