Personal
Few of the simple pleasures I derive from life are:
cooking, hiking, traveling, tennis and reading.
Fun in Baltimore!
Baltimore is a fun place (*definition of "fun" may differ). The Graduate Representative Organization at Hopkins (GRO, www.jhu.edu/gro) publishes a Guide to Living in Baltimore. A must read for new Baltimoreans!
