My interests are still reading theology, philosophy, literary theory and cognitive science. This is not necessarily the same thing as grasping these subjects. I love to listen to classical music, especially opera. Visiting art museums gives me immense pleasure. I used to enjoy travel. At one point, I liked whitewater canoeing. Hiking gave me great pleasure. I love Cumberland Island, the North Georgia mountains, the Oregon coast, the Tetons, Indiana Dunes, Portland, Oregon, and Manhattan. Even if I got to spend only brief moments in both places, I remember Vienna and Rome, which are places wonderful dream - - my fantasy houses! Fantasy is important.
