- Personal Interests
- Trying to understand how we got where we are: Philosophy, History, Archeology, Sociology, and Theology. Learning these things involves reading, traveling, contemplation and networking. The purpose, of course, is that unless I know how we get where we are it is impossible to figure out how to move toward where I want to be.
