Just so you know - the current yield from "alternative energies" is at such a level that if were to completely replace fossil fuels we'd have a lot of land covered with solar panels/windmills. Not effective enough currently, unfortunately.
The only cooking I do is with the microwave. I prefer to eat out, mostly because I can't cook myself. I've always had an interesting in baking desserts, so I might give that a try sometime in the future.
Used to play the piano, but I lost interest in music about 7 years ago. haven't touched an instrument in a couple of years, so that's interesting. People are always amazed about people who know how to play instruments, so use that to your advantage if you play.
Pretty good! Listening to some 80s on my Polk Audio bookshelf speakers. Great speakers for the price. Problem is, I don't have enough space to spread the speakers more, so the soundstage is a bit smaller than it should be and harder to discern.
