I'm a bit of a loner, generally. However, I like to join groups that serve my entertainment, intellectual and political interests. I like the arts, I write and do photography. I travel fairly often, domestic and global.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flying in an airplane still amazes me. Scientific and technological advances even keep me alive with an ICD/Pacemaker and metal hips. These are the things that ALLOW me to encounter natural wonder such as the jagged trees on Japan and China or even the broad, sandy beaches nearly outside my door in Venice, California.
