What is a Modern Dilettante?

Here is a link to a great blog post on dilettantes:

In Defense of Dilettantes


Here is another point of view, which definitely has some merit:

The Alluring Danger of Dilettantism


At my age, I am not concerned about the dangers. At this point, it is about having fun, learning and creating happiness. One might call it self-actualization, but I don't think that would be accurate in my case, but others might differ.

My blog is really just a place to write down some of my thoughts and ideas about how to pursue my many interests. It is not meant to be much of anything else.

I intend to blog about politics, society, justice, literature, culture, business, technology, the economy, bicycles, NBA basketball, physical fitness, travel, relationships, human potential, food, cooking, wine, and whatever else I am interested in at the time.

All the best,

Alan
