One Amazing Thing I've Done
Recently went on a motorcycle camping trip along the Lewis & Clark historical route; saw some period re-inactments too. I admire the Corps of Discovery 'cause they were REAL hero's (not the media-manufactured posers that we're bombarded with in this brave, new 21st Century).
Teach, Learn, Share
I've always been oriented toward a philosophical approach to a quality life. As a youth I wanted to go into the Ministry (Lutheran), but I'm glad that I didn't go there (it's the 'dogma' issue again!).
My Interests
Self-sustaining rural living, horses, motorcycles, philosophy, reading history of Westward expansion during 19thCentury, animals (especially horses),and trying to live simply here on Earth.
