I have a great love of languages and learning, and in my spare time, I enjoy learning new languages (or very, very old ones!), and I also enjoy doing genealogical research, reading both fiction and non-fiction, watching TV, trying to grow a vegetable garden, and working on independent research and writing projects on subjects I'm passionate about. I also love spending time with friends and going out to concerts, comedy shows, and the theater.
