I love go to Science Fiction conventions. I have a membership for DisCon III which was scheduled to take place in Washington D.C. last August. Instead of in person, it will now be a hybrid zoom/attendance con next month. I also go to our local bay area con BayCon. These are nonprofit events that include horror and fantasy as well as sci-fi. The panels that interest me most are about real science topics with panelists that include scientists, writers, and artists. These are very different than the Star Trek conventions which are commercial.

I also ride roller coasters and like visiting museums, and you can occasionally find me at a play or musical here in the Bay Area. I walk an hour in my neighborhood about 5 times a week, go to movies and watch a lot of TV, much of which is PBS.
