    Recreations, Hobbies, etc.

  • Solving math problems :-)
  • Grand Rapids Marathon and Half-Marathon. I've done both. The half-marathon is much easier.
  • Flying (private pilot). I rent planes from Paramount Aviation. Someday when I have time, I'll put some pictures from some flights on this website.
