Other Sites of Interest

Social Conscience

I've never been very political, but sometimes it seems that as a citizen it's important to take part in whatever vestiges of the democratic process are still discernible; here are some sites that encourage and facilitate that:

Rock Climbing and Trapeze

Rock climbing is my passion!
On another page I have some rock and climbing pictures, and a list of some of my favorite climbs.

You can also take a look at my friend Ric Otte's impressive mountaineering page; the pictures there are of mountain climbs rather than rock climbs.

Now I also have a new interest, though only just begun: the trapeze (flying with the greatest of ease, etc -- not all of that applies in my case ...). Take a look at Trapeze Club in New Paltz, NY, where I began; now there are trapeze classes in many places, and I've been to some in France, Miami, Oakland, San Francisco -- it's fun! .

Cats

are definitely another interest, though I don't have any of my own
wait till you see them!
