I have played guitar since a young age and play for my local church - Me and my son have recently been getting into astro photograpy and are getting pics of galaxy's, nebula, and star clusters. I have played chess for a number of years but mainly enjoy solving chess puzzles, i do play online. I enjoy reading philosophy and psychology. My enjoyment of philosophy eventually led to my fondness of psychological subjects.
