I do love it! Thanks, Jet.
I'm happy that my interest in astronomy, starting when I was about 7 years old, grew and developed and expanded into other related areas such as cosmology. Not to mention my profession as an engineer. I love looking around and trying to make some sense of the universe that we observe by applying my miniscule knowledge.
I think being somewhat of an introvert and liking to be alone plays into this. I find it more difficult in recent years, with my dear wife and children being such a huge, important part of my life, to be as alone as I'd like to be sometimes. Not always, but more often. I'm just thinking this is one reason I can tolerate and actually like my almost one hour drive each way to and from work each day. To use it as alone time. And why I sort of resent cell phones that I can't turn off as often as I'd like. That sort of thing.
