Tibetan Buddhism, reading, astronomy, target practice, cooking, really good cigars, and baseball. I do some traveling when I have the time and money. In recent years, I have been to Tibet, China, Nepal, and Bhutan. I have also visited Mexico, Canada, and Thailand. I saw a little of Europe when I was younger, mostly West Germany. I have also lived in several states, and visited many more.
The list is long, far to many to include here. I always enjoy meeting fellow travelers, either online, or on the road. Also, as always, I would love to meet any life form that lives outside of our solar system.CURRENT MOON moon phase info

I try not to watch to much TV, and I do not have cable. I enjoy the various travel, cooking, and nature/science shows on PBS, and try to watch David Letterman when I can. I love the new Battlestar Galactica (been watching it online and on DVD). Actually, I would love to get rid of my TV. I have spent far to much time in front of one for this lifetime.
