⭐ No Excuses ⭐ March 16

Oh my the talents you have my dear! I only did about 6 months of piano plunking as a child but no real lessons etc. I did do violin in jr high and high school orchestra, but not proficient. I played flamenco guitar taken up at age 57 with a prior history of some classical guitar lessons and fun. I have done cave exploration and mapping of Oregon Caves National monument. I was president of OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) Astronomers and participated in mapping the actual size of a small asteroid with a small group of other amateur astronomers. I have found dinosaur tracks,30 million year old dolphins, and billion year old fossils in the Grand Canyon (special permit) too. I cook pretty well. I have ridden my bike in distance about halfway to the moon (close to 119,000 miles now). I was a master gardener for Oregon State extension service.

I think of myself as curious, and scientifically bent but a published poet too. Don't know if this is the ole "jack of all trades master of none?" Some might say I am a "renaissance man wannabe". I am blessed to have enjoyed doing lots of different things. Blessed indeed.
I am somewhat impatient but also stubborn and open to new things and new foods too.
