John likes cooking, gaming, nature, reading, languages, and history. He speaks French and Spanish and has some working knowledge of Latin, Biblical Greek and Hebrew, German and Italian.
His cat, Edward, does not share many of John’s interests, but does enjoy naps, sitting in the windowsill, and wet food. He loves Sundays as the day he receives the “good stuff”.
