I am a quiet and reserved person who enjoys intellectual conversation about books, philosophy, movies, music, and religion. I enjoy learning how to play musical instruments. Trombone and piano are my main instruments. I like to garden and keep bees. I am a prolific reader and read a variety of genres: philosophy, theology, literary fiction, mystery novels, and whatever I take a fancy to. I haven't traveled outside of the US but would love to do so some day. I love discussing ideas and learning new things.
