At the moment:
Music, Painting, Reading, Philosophy, Quantum Physics, Good Food, Fine Wine, Big Waves, Stimulating Conversation, and General Mayhem...

My late step-father and soul-guide, Samuel M. Sokolik. I will forever cherish our visits to the Armstrong Redwoods from our discussion filled hikes to silent reflection on the mountain top through shared insights on the ride home.
