I am a retired Science educator and administrator. with a background in music and performing arts. I enjoy learning about and practicing the arts - all sorts of graphic and fiber arts. I am interested in having a 'life of the mind', learning everything I can about people, culture, and the world around me. Most recently I have been exploring Asian cultures,arts, and history and watching movies and programs through rakuten viki. I enjoy this very much. I love to have broad ranging conversations with people - I'm interested in people and how they live and what they think and believe and why.
