I'm an eagle scout. I enjoy hanging out with family and friends. I volunteer at a cancer research lab. I'll be going to the University of Texas next spring. My favorite book is Grey's Anatomy. I have siblings. I work at Taco Bell, volunteers, likes cancer research. I lost 2 grandparents to cancer. I have learned more about cancer research. I learned a lot of money is put into cancer research every year. I speak Spanish. I live in San Antonio. I can read Spanish better than I can speak it. My dad went to UT. My dad studied computer engineering. My dad is smart. My dad is interested in astrophysics. I work in cars as a hobby. I was raised Southern Baptist.
I enjoy reading. I enjoy hanging out with family and friends. I'm a retired grandparent. I go to church and hang out at the beach. My grandchildren go to the University of Texas. I have a friend with a kid going to UT. I likedWhen Breath Becomes Air. I read a book about how sugar feeds cancer cells. I am learning new things all the time through my personal reading. I no longer consider doing research. I might like to take a Spanish class for senior citizens. I know about geography. I was raised Baptist but converted to the Methodist church.
I am studying to become cancer research, what did you study in college? I had to go to work when I graduated from high school as we were poor, but two of my grandkids go to UT, one is in an IT program and the other is majoring in business. What kind of work did you go into? I got an apprenticeship in plumbing, but I continued my education by reading a lot in my spare time, I think I'm pretty well educated just from that.  I have been reading a lot of essays by Robert Benchley.  He's the grandfather of Peter Benchley, who wrote "Jaws". I'm not familiar with Robert Benchley, are his writings political? No.  He was a humorist in The New  Yorker magazine when it first started.  He was best friends with Dorothy Parker and other members of the Algonquin Round Table.  Are you interested in political writing? Not really, I like science, tech and medical stuff, I just read about how refined sugar may increase the frequency of cancer. That sounds alarming, as there's a lot of sugar in our foods.  Have you changed your diet based on this? This and other things I've read over the years.  Sugars were never a large part of the human diet until very recently.  I eat a lot of meat now. True, we didn't come up with a system to manufacture and transport a large amount of sugar until recently.  Do you eat a lot of barbecue?  That's my favorite kind of meats! Oh yeah, but when I bbq I use low heat to reduce the char which can cause cancer or at least that's what I've heard.
