Introduction

   This is a blog.  I have never wanted to participate in any sort of social media, and I still do not, so starting a blog is not something that I would normally have had any interest in doing.  Generally, I believe that social media tends to waste time, encourage narcissism, and make people less aware of the world around them.  I know this view is unpopular, but it's just what I think. Because of this, I will try to only write things on here that I think are worth sharing with other people, so as not to waste anyone's time.
   Here is a brief introduction about myself:  I like reading books, watching TV, and listening to music, specifically rock from the 1960s and 70s.  My favorite books are Catch-22 by Joseph Heller and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.  My favorite musical artists are The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and Pink Floyd.  I strongly dislike almost all popular music of this millennium; it lacks the creativity and musicianship of all the old stuff.  I love the outdoors,  hiking, and camping, as well as swimming and other sports.
  So I guess you can read this blog if you would like.
