Briefly why do I put effort into RP; because it is another way to apply my engineering skills and test new ideas while someone else buys the
materials.
 When you think about it this is a pretty good deal. I enjoy zanny people of a jovial nature and epicurean sociability.

If I had more time I'd build sets and effects for live theater but since my time is limited RP affords me the opportunity to stay connected to
acting and performance.

Other than than - Carlos and his delightful wife are my neighbors of + 25 years, they are fun to visit and Carlos has been generous with computer
repair assistance.
