My Interests

The history of stained glass, evolution, the history of civilization, the history of the English language, U.S. Civil War, researching my family tree. CATS, and all types of domestic animals and most wild animals, too. I prefer mammals to fish and birds and all the above trump insects any day. Although insects are fascinating from a distance…a huge distance. But mostly I like cats. Watching horse racing, doing NYT crosswords in pen are good ways too pass the time. I am VERY interested in 3-D computer modeling. I teach at UArts in Philly and I am happy to say, it interests me greatly. I LOVE my house. I used to play the guitar (I played in two bands--one of them being KeN--see top friends) and wrote a lot of songs. The apotheosis of this activity was live performances on the radio and at the Trocadero. Then I quit. I like food—particularly Vietnamese and all manner of sweets—but I don’t like to cook. Fortunately, I also like exercising—especially aerobics. I like the idea of nature—but I prefer not to spend too much time in it. Psychology interests me—but perhaps in a dilettantish way. Likewise, tales of neurological weirdness captivate me. Tell me all about Capgras delusion! I probably have A.D.D. and dysgraphia and body dysmorphia and a general anxiety disorder. Maybe O.C.D. too if my obsessions with my kitchen floor, my iPod play count and this type of list making are any indication. But I don’t smoke or drink. Any more. VISUAL ART is a primary interest of mine, not surprisingly. Eccentric, passionate geniuses like Robert Fludd, Jakob Boehme, Athansius Kircher, Nicola Tesla, Lewis Carroll, James Burke, Jung, etc etc all interest me—as does the fine line between visionary and total crackpot. I am also interested in the future of stained glass.
