I love to learn by experience. It’s not enough to read about something or some place’s history; I want to visit. It’s not enough to hold something; I want to make it or build it.

With that in mind, I’m always trying out new things. Much to my wife’s dismay, I am a collector of hobbies. I’ve come to realize that I don’t like doing new things as much as I love learning to do new things. This leaves lots of half-finished projects around the house.
