Hello, friends and neighbors. I've joined the Great Twitter Migration of 2022. There, I followed politics, mainly in response to the fateful election of 2016. More recently, I've drifted toward programming tech in the Javascript realm, and will probably persue some gardening groups here.

Biographically, I fall easily in the catagory of life-long learner, hence my draw to this server. "So many topics, so little time." I pick a topic or three and pursue (or visa versa) with some passion for a few years and move on, usually to return a decade or so later. Here are my main topics(no expertise is suggested or implied in any subject matter):

Food -mainly vegetables

Growing food-organic, heirloom, seed-saving, peppers

Growing plants - Orchids, trees, flowers, roses, herbs, gourds, succulents

Art -zentangling, celtic knots, iconograpy, pen/ink, egg tempera

Music -progRock, classical, baroque, electronic synthesis, keyboard

Psychology -interegal, classical christian theology.

Stamp Collecting -Flat Plate US and plate blocks

Woodworking -hardwoods, hand tools

Backpacking -running, trail-running, outdoors -minimalist, hammocking

Golden Section -geometry, Kepler

Computers -Basic, Pascal, C, Visual Basic, SQL, Powershell, Javascript/HTML/CSS, C#

Alcohol -Beer: IPA, Stout, Porter. Wine: OV Zin, Whiskey -Single malt Scotch. Homemade cider

Geographically: Family origins of southwestern Virginia for a couple of centuries. Retired from small family sign business and recently moved to Potomac valley Virginia.
