Hobbies

It's actually hard for me to think of what I am NOT interested in because most subjects intrigue me. I like to hike, cook, read, write, sing, and explore topics like archeology, astro-physics, history, movies, and politics. Most of all, I'm interested in being a useful person to those who would like to improve their lives by improving their skills in writing and analysis.
