I really enjoy being alive. It is always a miracle that I wake up every morning. The world is such wonderful place despite the efforts of those that try to make it otherwise. I like fishing not so much for the fish, but just for an excuse to out there in the wild inhaling every molecule of nature I can consume. I love to read,just about anything,except romance novels(sorry ladies). Chess keeps my mind strong and limber, Hiking keeps me physically fit. I'm not quite a vegetarian, more of a piscatarian, that is, I eat fish and organic food when ever i can afford it.
