Comet

Greetings ladies and gentlemen. Discovered you fine folks and decided to join your community. My main passion and specialty is astrophysics but enjoy all aspects of science. I suppose this is where I give a little background. I will be sixty-three in a few days, married for almost forty-one years and spent twelve in college. Some people I admire and look up to for various reasons are Martin Luther King Jr., Plato, John F. Kennedy, Aristotle, Abraham Lincoln, Sun Tzu, Sir Isaac Newton, William Shakespeare, Galileo, Mother Teresa, Socrates, Florence Nightingale , Albert Einstein, Susan B. Anthony, Leonardo da Vinci, Gandhi, Nicolaus Copernicus and many others. Music is extremely important to me. I have a deep affection for classical music. A few favorites are Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Handel, Haydn, Brahms, Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Chopin, Vivaldi, Liszt, Purcell, etc... I also am an admirer of blues, jazz, oldies, motown, opera and ambient. Anything that moves me and touches the soul. As Leopold Stokowski said, "A painter paints pictures on canvas but musicians paint their pictures on silence." Pleased to be here and look forward to some intelligent and engaging discussions.
