About me

Introduction	Each morning, my wife awakens my life again; my heart leaps and I stand for greeting. Soon, I ask if she wants to go for a walk; later, to read to me. I respond to her wishes. If she wants privacy, I return to my work yet am alert to her voice. She’s a retired elementary school teacher. When I shared a pivotal thought --- that everything, including ethics, emerges from physics --- she asked, “Do you mean the study?” I answered, “No: the object of study, or energy, mass and space-time.” She asked, “What is space-time?” I described the use of red lights for travelers. Prompted to vehicles, she said, “I’ve got it. Looking to park at the mall, I choose a free space.” She asked about religion. I said, “It’s the lack of discovery.” With a super partner, I follow private interest --- appreciating people --- to explore what-is vs what may-be. No professor, no minister, no politician, no researcher, no person can slow my journey to freedom and responsibility for what I do.
Interests	Maybe at age ten, I read the last page of the Bible, seeking personal authenticity (even though I could not have said so then). The threats in Rev. 22:18-19 inspired the conviction, "No entity I'd follow is so weak as to threaten me." I learned enough to write these thoughts. I acquired education through B.S. in chemical engineering then served 35 years, ending as research advisor. The reactors I designed will not blow up. My peers were from perhaps 40 ethnic backgrounds. At age 24 I met a serene, confident woman who became my wife. With her, I have grown trust and confidence in my commitment to the-objective-truth, which exists and which humankind may discover. Her ultimate hope seems subjective yet uses the same practice: fidelity. She would rather plant flowers and adorn living, and I would rather read, think, and write. Friends know her strength and my imagination. She’s more French and Italian, and I’m more Scots-Irish and English, but we each have a little German. Together, we produced three appreciative children. We are approaching our 48th year of civil agreement and 50th year of civic agreement, where “civic” refers to willing, iterative collaboration for comprehensive safety and security more than for opinion. Nothing is easy.
