I really want to meet people who are interested in things. It's generally less important what that thing(s) is/are and much more important to be passionate about your life.

Kicking it on Nantucket, teaching physics and chemistry to high schoolers. I'm a neophyte banjo player with something of a passion for songs about the ocean and life at sea so singing and strumming take up some time as well.

Reading out loud...most recently Tropic of Cancer (14Feb13).

I'm not sure what's first but I've heard that I smile a lot : )

Right now I'm in between books- planning for school has kept me busy but thankfully I still find time with my friends to read aloud.

In the words of U. Utah Phillips you are one of those who is living life with time and not with money.

You want to sing some songs.
You want to plan an adventure.
You have similar desires and motivations.
You have any other decent reason : )
