Science is an interest because my father who I discussed astronomy and astrophysics with.

He was a proffessor and a great enthusiast in the sciences including anatomy and zoology and everything else it seemed.  I loved asking him questions and debating with him until he died a year ago.  His father was the lead patholigist in the bay area and a master pianist and painter.  Also both of them were inventors.  So I am sure some of that kind of stuff got passed down to me.  Then I get nagged about wasting my talents on poetry.  If it weren't for the fact that I love everything about and concerning poetry I would stop too.  I see it as a bridge into thought and music.  Also math!
