I work part time as a lawyer ( You could say I am semi-retired). I seek many intellectual interests outside the law.

Presently I am taking a class in civil engineering.

I have studied electronics and personal computer repairs.

One special goal I have is to build a PC from begin to end.

Another goal I have is to move to Spokane.

I subscribe to NYTimes online. I spend a lot of time there getting my fix on current events.

when I Google a topic usually my first click is on the Wekipedia link.

I like the wikepedia. It is a good first start on getting a handle on a topic.

I am a dilletante. I have read and studied many things ( e.g., algebra, trig), but I have not mastered anything. However, I enjoy learning. My first subject choice on books is history, current events, world affairs, and "how to do that".

I consider myself to have been born in Mars. Why? Because I have no interest in the things that so many humans in our culture spend time on. I have no interest in sports, Facebook,the Wasteland called television ( I enjoy "Frontline", "American Experience"), and 99% of the movies produced ( yet I enjoy well crafted and performed movies with witty intellectual plots). The list of my dislikes is long. Oh, I will say nothing of my political predilections because, well, that is another topic.

That will suffice.

thank you.
