19. What are your nicknames? None I feel like listing here, that aren't already on my userinfo.

52. What is your favorite dessert? edited to add: I don't really have one. Dessert, like most things, depends on my mood. I do tend to prefer things that are not over-sweetened, however. One that's rather high on the list is just a plate of fresh fruit and a glass of a good ruby port or botrytisized riesling. One I've been having a lot lately is Japanese (20th Century) pear slices with fresh chevre.
53. What books are you reading? The Stainless Steel Rat series by Harry Harrison, Arthur Clarke's Tales from the White Hart (my favorite Clarke), Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, which I'm not sure I'm going to finish.
