In 2015 I rode to & through Alaska. On my way through Canada I met an English motorcyclist, John Allright, an enthusiastic and world wide couch surfer. He introduced me to couch surfing as we rode together through Alaska & Canada. I thought that it was great and met many wonderful people. It's such a great concept.

Blues, Bluegrass, contemporary and classic rock, & Americana singer-songwriters. I like all types of music, but some more than others. Movies are much the same & I enjoy watching those that are well made, but I just wish that I could see more of them. I really enjoy reading books and articles about science including anything from particle physics & cosmology to social sciences. Lately, since I bought a motorcycle, I've also enjoyed reading about motorcycles and traveling on them.
