the_writer@mac.com30 years as a wide-ranging entertainment broadcast interviewer and feature writer — 22 of them out of Toronto as senior showbiz columnist at the brashly tabloid Sun — addicted me to popular culture and nurtured an insatiable curiosity about how people make decisions (and how we could learn to do so better!) Now after seeing 10,000-plus live performances and seeing movies most days of my adult life, I am trying to figure out what matters about what I have learned and how to make it useful.
I am much traveled, happily married with godchildren, and prioritize a large close extended family.
