My life is a balance of outdoors activities and reading. I enjoy swimming, exploring a rugged coast, hiking or contemplating the ruins of an ancient civilization. Material things, status or career don’t interest me. I have a physics degree, the science of what the World is and how it "works", it has shaped the meaning of life for me. Religion is incompatible with science and its fanaticism a source of untold misery to Humanity. I follow politics reluctantly. Wish we lived in a World where one wouldn't be affected by someone else's obsession with wealth or power.
