CURRENT MISSION
In general I want to stay healthy, hang out/in with friends and complete all incomplete tasks :-)
Of course I want to be as happy and contented as possible too - I have a plan, which I share with friends in person, but which has elements that are too controversial to publish here.

ABOUT ME
I have 3 wonderful children, stay in close contact with wider family & remoter friends, chair the razel & gershon moscovitch family circle's provisional management committee, and plan to recoordinate the Oxford LETS system.
I'm often a raw food vegetarian thus save tons of CO2, but then can blow it on impulsive frequent flying, eg in a recent year i flew (generally accompanied) to new york (weekend), paris (weekend), essaouira in morrocco (week), Nerja in Spain (5 days), Bangladesh (5 days), Israel (1.5 days), Al Mada in Portugal (3 days), while in earlier years I did a great deal of very long haul solitary hitchhiking.
BUT a great way to get to know more about me is to check out my facebook timeline posts -

PHILOSOPHY
I give people lots of chances and benefits of the doubts...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

SEEN and helped a bit in the birth of my (shared) 3 children.
TRAVELLED alone by surface with a rucksack across Europe, the Near East, the Middle East and the Further East through multiple deserts 13, 000 miles in 13 weeks.
SEEN, a few years back, for the only time ever, a tiny segment of a rainbow on a fluffy white cloud almost immediately above my head (about 80 degrees above the horizon) on the SAME SIDE (not opposite side) of me as the sun which was about 20 degrees above the horizon. What was that!

Teach, Learn, Share

TO START WITH:
I can teach: everything i know about - to babies, children & adults, including how to balance and throw a diabolo as high as a 3 storey building and catch it again on the string.

I'd like to learn how to : play violin, speak spanish.

I can share with others how i independently wiggle my ears and independently inflate my biceps.
