Some miscellaneous things outside of academia...
Ballroom Dance
I am a competitive Ballroom Dancer. (Though currently on hiatus from competing so perhaps that's {was, will be again}?) Some more on the dance years over here.
Distance Running
I am also a distance runner (5k through the marathon). Probably my best time (post 30 at least) was running 1:25:36 at the Philadelphia Half Marathon 2024.
(If you are a student or collaborator let's schedule our next meeting as a running-research chat 😀)
Et Cetera
Things I'd love to talk to you about in addition to the above: ASOIAF, the Zohar and Jewish mysticism, lock-picking, thrash metal, history and philosophy of science, chess, homeschooling, Freudo-Marxism, espresso, cocktails, homebrewing, (Philadelphia) sports, Alex Shulgin, aesthetic theory. Avril 50 is one of the finest spots in Philadelphia. It only took 157 5:00 AM trips and counting to get my photo on the wall at the best restaurant in Providence. (It was a beautiful dream, perhaps too perfect for this world.) I've been to these US states. Everyone should watch more Fellini.
