Geography interests me. However that is not like cycling or even photography -- which one can say one DOES.
Geography, somehow, is different.
Appreciating where things are. Geography I'm thinking which is usually not so far off; but instead where one can go easily. Where one can check the accuracy of one's map, or fill in details which were not printed on the map.
Visits for scenery's sake, well also are as geographical exercizes.

Music which has affected my life:
In college I listenedlots to "Kinda of Blue,"an album by Miles Davis
At the Chicago Jazz Festival I once heard McCoy Tyner play. Sure what
I heard was very good, on the other hand it was not one of those "swept
away" concerts. On the first hand again -- it has stayed with me, that
dusk-time playing. McCoy Tyner, who was the piano in John Coltrane's
quartet 4 ca. years, played in a way which was beyond anything I've
heard before or since in the jazz vein. And jazz is a more
reasoned, cerebral (in a degree) music than other kinds of music in the
pale of the popular.
McCoy Tyner's tunes that evening were a fire like Balkan dance tunes,
only in a tradition which is -- more deep down -- my own. Penetrated
further into the DNA/my blood.
My interests in music are wide and far.
Just for example flamenco music
Once long ago in Bloomington, before the NPR station was 24 hr/day, I
awakened at 7. My radio had been left on. Music by Arcengelo Corelli
was playing; the music of a single solitary instrument. I think that
was a mystical experience; before all my brain cells were working, some-
thing began to pour into my soul. Again, once, hearing sonatas by
Beethoven there was the beyond-earth movement within.
I can recall B.B. King and very beautiful music from him. I heard Son
House at the Ann Arbor Blues Festival.
A country and western musician, Johnny Cash, has enriched my life.
Telemann, Purcell -- often John Dowland -- I find very rewarding.
