Beyond academia, I spend time being involved in local music communities, taking long walks, and amateur gardening.
I’ve been keeping a small garden in my yard. I tend to grow leafy greens, varieties of tomatoes, and (my favorite) hot peppers. Among the latter, I’ve grown ghost peppers, Trinidad scorpions, and Carolina reapers (bright red in the picture). Many excruciating sauces have ensued.
My broader interests in history, literature, art, politics, and other trivia also get some exercise through my addiction to the New York Times crossword.
