PHILOSOPHY

Stay relaxed. Life is too short to get stressed over anything. That doesn't mean I'm not concerned about my family and try to spend time with and help them, but no point getting up tight about things I can't affect. Also want to live in a manner that is as friendly as possible to the environment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There is so much! Living through the aftermath of WWII and the cold war and seeing how that unfolded into a world where peace seems possible. We are now constrained by an overall shortage of resources as well as the traditional unequal distribution of same.
