What have you read or seen over the past year that moved or surprised you?

    "Twelfth Night" and "Richard III" with original type costumes and staging

      Films: Inside Llewyn Davis and 12 Years a Slave

      Also "Good Person of Szechwan" at the Public Theater

What are you listening to right now?

      I don't listen to much music or books on tape. I am a regular listener to NPR, and raised my daughters on NPR. Now one is a Kroc fellow at NPR.

What’s the last great book you read?

     In midst of reading Death and Afterlife. Very thought provoking.

What’s one thing you’re a fan of that people might not expect?

      Eating good food. I'm pretty skinny and yet really love good food - and baking good desserts. I never drink coffee - which surprises a lot of people - but love tea.

What’s your favorite comfort food?

      My own banana cake or apple crisp. I love baking - the baking itself I find comforting.
