Education
I have a degree in philosophy and a (now expired) teaching credential for secondary school history, economics, social studies.

Health
I am, by every (metaphoric) definition of the word, a gym rat

Languge
While certainly no polyglot, I can more or less read Latin, Greek and Esperanto but can barely make myself understood in Spanish and French and know just enough Dutch to ease drop on conversations. Oh and I have some English.

Shoes
I wear a size 14(us) shoe. I only own three pair.

TV and Movies
I don't own a TV and don't really go to movies and in consequence am generally baffled by the corporate popular culture. The counter culture, however, I am an enthusiastic participant in.

Burningman
I dress in EL wire and ride a Leopard adorned bike and live in a giant blue cube at Burningman.

Art
I prefer realism in art for its soothing aesthetic pleasure and enthusiastically applaud hyper realism for the stellar levels of talent it's artist express. But since joyous delight is not the sole purpose of art, I find I also like surrealism quite a bit and am quite a fan of the modernist and so called "post modern" movements.

Theremin
I play the Theremin and you should too. I also play a transverse wooden flute when electricity is short.

Politics and Religion
My politics are Social Democracy and my religion Atheism although a good dose neopaganism is always fun. Unless of course this offends you, in which case I decline to state my politics and religion.
