Camping & Hiking.
My family has
always enjoyed the
great outdoors, and one of my earliest memories is of an
abortive camping trip to Joshua Tree National Monument.

            Firearms
& Marksmanship. The role
of guns has
become an unnecessarily controversial subject, so the private citizen
who would own and use firearms must approach the prospect with careful
consideration.

            Food & Drink.
Wars have been fought
over spices,
and dietary decisions continue to be a source of controversy, so it’s
no surprise that we can take our sustenance very seriously.

            Gaming & Painting.
Boardgames,
tabletop games, and
video games can all be a lot of fun, but what do any of them have to do
with painting?

            Music
& Movies. I
enjoy movies and music as much as the next person, but my high
expectations are not met very easily or often.

            | Photography
&
Composition. I know just
enough about photography to get myself into trouble with a camera, and
my composition skills need even more work. |

            Reading & Writing.
There is perhaps
no more
intellectual pursuit than literature, and I enjoy partaking in both its
creation and consumption when time permits.

            Swords & Swordplay.
I have long
been fascinated by
ancient weapons and armor, but the sword in particular has always
captured my imagination.
