Interest in generative linguistics, history of photography, biomedical research, astrophysics, history (1930s), art criticism, critical history ... But really just an old fuddy-duddy occupying time with reading, photography, and travel.

RA is a disease loaded with paradox. Some think that it may have at least one variety that does not involve "joints" at all. You probably don't know that my wife of any years was taken by an autoimmune condition that some call ... RA Lung. www.webmd.com/rheumatoid-a...
