Forty years working in parallell with health care (as a staff nurse), and also as performing musician and music teacher (including an Honors Degree in Opera Studies). Music makes you passionate about all the arts, and I have in-depth knowledge of pictorial art and also literature. Since early adulthood, I've had what I would describe as a healthy interest in news, politics, and current affairs. A recent field of interest has been astronomy and also philosophy - which seem to meld together at some level!
