I spend my time reading, writing (poetry and letters), taking photographs (nature and abstract still life), walking my dogs, hiking, watching movies, and enjoying conversations with interesting people. I am fascinated by science and how everything works, and I am often amazed at the different connections between things. When I have time, I love to travel and camp. Learning is a life long pleasure. I enjoy exchanging letters and getting to know people around the world. It opens my perspectives. Plus, every time I open the mailbox and find a letter, it is like receiving a gift that day.
