Ancient Music

I`m interested in Baroque, Renaissance and Middle Ages music. I would probably love the music of the ancient Romans too, if we had a vague idea of how it sounded. Nineteenth and Twentieth century music is not too bad either, but - in my opinion - it can`t rival the richness of Baroque compositions or the introspective mysticism of Middle Ages ballads.

Competitive and defensive firearms

I have practiced handgun shooting since I was eighteen. The first time a fired a gun I was eight, and that was the most awesome day I had ever spent with my dad. I`m mainly a handgun shooter and I enjoy both pistols and revolvers. I also own a Winchester Defender with pistol grip, but I use it mainly to blast water jugs.

Cycling

Another great passion of mine. Ever since I was a kid, riding my bike has been one of my favorite activities. Although I`m more of a road bike cyclist, I also enjoy dirt biking.

Reading

I enjoy fantasy and science fiction novels. I especially like vintage authors, like Tolkien, Burroughs, Howard, Heinlein, Vance, Farmer and the likes. Contemporary writers like Turtledove, Feist and Salvatore are good as well, and Gerrold would certainly be in the list, if he stopped procrastinating the publication of the final version of the Chtorr cycle.

GPS Navigation

The latest of my hobbies and probably the most useful. Follow my advice: if you travel out of your best known areas more than once per year, a GPS receiver would certainly make your life easier.
