Some Personal Interests

Marathons
If it weren't for computers, Kent probably would be training for marathon number four as you view this. Previously he ran Chicago (twice) and Allerton Park (near Urbana-Champaign, Illinois). For obvious competitive reasons his times are confidential.
Biographies
Tormented lives of infamous writers...Tolstoy, Steinbeck, Hemingway, Whitman, Falk, Dylan Thomas, Thomas Wolfe, Capote, . . .
The Far Side
Kent may have the world's largest collection of Far Side mugs. Earn extra money in your spare time by telling him where to obtain new titles for his current collection.
Spaghetti Westerns
Especially early Clint Eastwood movies and posters. Amused by that irreverent "man with no name" getting beat up for one and a half hours, then exacting measured revenge the last ten minutes.
United States Marine Corps
Kent had the privilege of serving state-side in the finest fighting machine on the planet as a USMC supply/ordnance officer.  The first half of Full Metal Jacket brings back tender memories.
