I'm retired and have decided to pick up Spanish again. I haven't studied it since high school. I travel a fair amount. I enjoy reading, photography, and painting. I used to scuba dive, ski, and fly a small plane, but those hobbies have been put in the past. I love art, particularly Impressionists and Post-Impressionists. I enjoy music: rock, classical, older pop, a small amount of jazz, and lately, world music. I've started cooking more, though it's just for my wife and me. I also write for fun--I have two fiction books published under a pseudonym and am working on a third (but not very hard).
