what's your special interest?

It’s interesting that space seems to be so common a passion.  For me it is history (listen to the Revolutions podcast by Mike Duncan or his History of Rome series - or You’re Dead to Me if you want something lighter).  Also playing piano and piano music in general

I mean isn't this just awesome and beautiful...

I used to work for a company that had supplied some items on the Titanic.  Didn't work there at the time, obviously - although I feel old enough at times!  But I was around for one of the big anniversaries when they brought out some commemorative replicas which came with certificates signed by one of the survivors.  I was always a bit starstruck when my manager would come back and tell us about his latest meeting with her.
