My hobbies are music, construction, Tai Chi and motorcycling/snowmobiling. For music and I play fiddle music for Contra Dancing and love to jam with other players or Old Time, Irish, and New England fiddle music. For construction I am in the process of renovating and 1830's farm house and barns. For motorcycling, I don't go as far as I used to, but I keep a dual sport Yamaha for local rides and in the winter you can find me out grooming snowmobile trails. For Tai Chi, I study the Yang style form including 108 solo form, the two person dance, and the weapons forms.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've always thought when I travel, especially on my motorcycle, that it's a shame to stay at a hotel somewhere as I never meet anyone in the new towns I travel through. When I camp it's great as I do meet new people, but rainy nights can be a downer, so I love the thought of hooking up with new and interesting folks as I travel and couch surfing is the perfect way to do it.

兴趣

I am a fiddler and contra dance caller and I love to jam with other players or Old Time, Irish, and New England fiddle music. I practice two forms of Tai Chi, traditional Yang style and also Tai Chi for Health forms by Dr. Lam. I finally retired in 2022 and spend most of my time working on my old farmhouse and gardens or playing music.

音乐、电影和书籍

Historical non fiction is what I read most. I also read a lot of health and exercise books as I believe in taking responsibility for one's personal health and in supporting local farmers.

Rebuilding an abandoned old farm house, still in process, is the toughest and most satisfying thing I have done.
