Renaissance Man

Renaissance Man – I always found this to be an inspiring concept.  Picture a gentleman in his (study?) with a beard – I don’t have a beard though – who is proficient at everything that spices up life.  The various definitions of a Renaissance Man include everything from poetry, to music, to dancing, to horseback riding, wrestling and fighting as a swordsman.  It can be defined as one with wide interests and certain areas of expertise.  Alternatively, someone with sharp perspective, deep experience and who seeks knowledge for knowledge’s sake, and relentless curiosity. If you give me a free pass on horseback riding (not for me as too dangerous) and equate my years of martial arts experience as substituting for wrestling and fighting and swordplay, I think I am on my way here.

And — yes — this is the perfect arena for an Old Guy isn’t it.  Indeed, it would be hard for a Young Guy to have so many skill sets and depth of knowledge.  So Viva La Renaissance Man for us Old Guys!
