| Introduction | 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. |
