About the Author:
When I walk into a room, women stampede and dogs swoon.
Or maybe women tremble and dogs stampede. I don’t know! I can never get this sentence right!
Generally, one evening each week, I am taking a class devoted to reading the classic texts of Western civilization. These texts encourage one to evaluate the kind of life one leads and help develop one’s own human spirit
Chicago’s live theater and Symphony are wonderful and take much of my time.
Long-distance motorcycle trips into the wilderness are a joy. The trip to the Arctic Ocean through the Yukon and Northwest Territories was one the highlights of my life, the last 750 km being on a tough dirt track.
Racing a Porsche 911 RSR for fourteen years taught me much about competition and about life. I think of returning. The people were the best.
I am divorced, of Hungarian (Central European) ancestry, and live in a near-west suburb of Chicago.
I own and manage a business I started a number of years ago.

About Chicago:
From the Theater (Steppenwolf, Lookingglass, Goodman, Profiles) to the restaurants to the live blues music to the philosophy classes at night at the University of Chicago, it is truly a great city!
The University teaches philosophy to thousands as adults, not just to college kids, under a program where one can study for as long as one likes, reading additional great texts or studying texts already read in greater depth.
One of the great chancellors of the University, Robert Hutchins, wrote that great men do not do their work in warm cities, but in northern cities with changes of climate. There’s something healthy about the change of seasons and a beautiful sunny winter day!
