BuckBuckman

My claim to fame:

In 1972 I made a 5-mile long rubberband chain with my best friend who, later in life, ended up being involuntarily committed 9 times.

in 2006 I wrote the top rated comedy in the Baltimore Screenwriter's Competition. (Anybody know a screen agent?).

I've been at Belmont Park to personally witness the last three Triple Crown winners: Secretariat in '73, Slew in '77 and Affirmed in '78.

I also grill a REALLY good burger.

Currently reading:

Toujours Provence by Peter Mayle

Character I'd like to be for a day:

I can't choose anybody too cool, because then I'd get pissed that I had to return to my own life 24 hours later. And I can't choose anybody who sucks. I guess I'd choose Joe Dimaggio during the Marilyn Monroe years, presuming that he qualifies as a "character" (it doesn't say LITERARY character).

Favorite authors:

Robert Pirsig. OK, I know he's only written two books and that I am waaaay too dumb to understand the second one, but -- jeez -- that first one (Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance) is a masterpiece. I re-read it every year.

Favorite books:

ZAMM (see "Favorite Authors," above). I also liked Blue Highways by William Least Heat Moon. I have a weakness for nonfiction travelogues.

Favorite place to read:

During work hours, at my desk, while I am on the clock. Can't beat it for the psychological satisfaction.
