This has been so much fun.  Meeting people from around the world is awesome and proves that we all have much more in common than not.  I am looking to communicate with a lot of different people from different places.   Just be a nice person.

Keep it real.

I learned a little French and German.  Very little since it was so many years ago.  I am learning Persian, thanks to a dear friend.

Music, camping, reading, photography,​ travel, movies, bicycling.

Classic rock is my favorite, but there is alot of good music in many genres.  Jazz, classical, alternative,​ hip hop, pop, heavy metal and even rap are all good.

Breakfast Club, Star Wars, Father Goose, Long, Long Trailer  horror, almost anything.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia​, No Reservations​, Firefly Deadliest Catch, Dirty Jobs, MythBusters,​ Dexter.

I always liked science fiction especially Asimov.  The Foundation Trilogy topped the list.  Now I prefer non-fiction.​  Latest favorites are At  All Costs ,  Beyond the White House (about Jimmy Carter and the Carter Center) and Anthony Bourdain's The Nasty Bits.

One looks back with appreciation​ to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.
