When creating my interests, I thought about all my interests.  The list was longer than a speech during a Senate Filibuster.  In my effort to narrow it down to a few interests, I had to ponder on what were the things that I enjoy to pursue the most in life and what are the things that I spend the most time doing.  I tried to list the ones that hit some balance on these so, here they are:

• The City:  I know this sounds very general but I have always loved cities, big cities.  I love the song "Downtown" by Petula Clark.  There is something about the city, the energy, the people moving about in all directions, always in a hurry.  It is some strange accomplishment to know your way around, to feel you have conquered it.  I really love to travel and visit cities.  

• My Landcruiser is my toy.  I have had it since 1986.  It is a 1972, well, at least that is what the registration says.  The frame is a 1969, the chassis is a 1972 and the engine is Chevy 350 cubic inch, V-8.  Check it out. 

• Karman Ghia-My other car project is a 1960 Karman Ghia Volkswagon.  This has not been started yet. 

• Softball  My favorite sport is baseball.  My favorite team is the Dodgers and yes, I love to watch them on TV.  I totally enjoy seeing them in person.  I live only fifteen or twenty minutes from the stadium and go quite often.  I first started playing baseball on a team at 10, (Little League), and have played continuously except for some shoulder injuries.  I played fast pitch softball for a few years and was the catcher, what a work out!  I have had three rotator cuff repairs, (all open), on the right shoulder, the last one being last October 2002.  I expect to be released to start playing again very soon but think I have resigned myself to the fact that it is time to give up playing in any capacity that requires me to throw.  I am coaching a team now and it is fun to be able teach others what I can no longer do.  It has opened up a whole new competition for me.  And, I am getting better at my Spanish.  

• Camping, White Water Rafting, Mountains-
