9. Avocations 

Travel, modern music, belles-lettres, collectibles, outdoor sports (ocean swimming, bike riding, target shooting).

 Here is an embedded video (posted on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTX8DwVeHV0) with a 6 min. 11 sec. first episode "Austria 2011" of the movie my wife and I shot in Europe in the Summer of 2011.

10. Alma Mater 

The university I got all my post-secondary education from and was on faculty of for 15 years after my graduation, the Warsaw University of Technology, or - in Polish - Politechnika Warszawska, has been Poland's oldest, highly selective (with my college, Międzywydziałowe Studium Podstawowych Problemów Techniki, being the highest-selective academic unit at the time I was admitted there in 1967), and - indisputably - most prestigious institute of technology.

Here is a link to its history, a link to a video with beautiful music by its Academic Choir,  and a photo of typical inauguration of the Academic Year:



And here is a link to a recent video (live performance in Gdańsk, Poland, by Academia Concerto chamber choir from Brasil) with Polish ancient ( -years old, to be exact) national anthem "Gaude Mater Polonia" that is nowadays sung at the opening of the AY ceremonies at Polish universities.

I hope you enjoy listening to it - a pair of good headphones would certainly help you catch the mood of the moment.
