My background is language study, history, philosophy, religion, and interpretation of ancient texts. I like puzzles and games. I'm intrigued by the riddle of the poem. I live in Forrest's (original) home state, but my heart is in the mountains. I started hiking the trails of Rocky Mountain National Park in the 80s. I climbed Long's Peak in July, 2019. My channel is an outlet for random thoughts, and a way to meet like-minded people. And I'm here for the exchange of ideas. I encourage courteous dialogue in the comments. Feel free to attack an argument or an interpretation (with your own sound arguments, of course); but I draw the line at personal attacks toward anyone. Thank you for stopping by. I look forward to dialoguing with you, and learning from you.
