Travel – to anywhere. The farthest was to Thailand with a group of friends. We toured all the places and ended our travels teaching for a few days with refugees from Myanmar. Dear to my heart is Guatemala, known as the Switzerland of Central America. I’ve visited four times. Don’t miss day of the Dead kite festival in Sumpango, and the pre-Columbian capitol at Iximché, today a peaceful park. I’d love to have an apartment in Antiqua…or Antibes or Nice, or Barcelona, or any beach.

Taking photographs of the environment. New Mexico never disappoints. 

Vocal Music – I grew up on Camelot, My Fair Lady, and West Side Story. I heard Marilyn Horne in a university gym when I was twenty and it was life changing. I’ve been an opera nerd ever since.

Sweet Potato Fries

Earthworks – ancient or modern: Stonehenge, to Indian mounds, to Spiral Jetty and Cadillac Ranch. And vernacular architecture…think old barns with soap adverts.

Kayaking in the salt marsh and walking on the beach.

Funny Instagram reels of animals and babies. Or hummingbirds feeding out of a person’s hand. How do they do that? — I give myself a time limit.

A very cold Kolsch beer.
