    I'm Dan Sulani. Born and raised in a small town
in the Great State of Ohio. Never thought of myself
as a Yankee (Although "Southerness" penetrates
 quite a distance north of the Ohio River, I never
thought of myself as a Southerner either.)
    I'm 53, now living in Israel and working as a
Speech-Language-Pathologist.
    BTW, in reference to the Interstate Highway thread,
I am extremely familiar with the subject: back in my
student days, during one summer vacation, I helped
_build_  I-90 which runs across northern Ohio!
    I speak English and Hebrew. I also learned (to various
degrees of fluency) French, German, Russian,
Sanskrit, Quechua, and Swahili.
    My  conlang is called rtemmu. Sorry, no website so far.
    Music --- well, I'm very ecclectic. I'm a child of the
American 60's so I like the Beatles et al, I like classical
music, Country and Western, Jazz, folk music from
everywhere, Arabic music, music from the various Asian countries,
really everything! I'm kept up to date about recent bands
by my kids and I get a decent supply of loud music courtesy
of the nice neighbor in the next building who treats the
whole neighborhood to concerts with speakers taller than
I am (I've seen them!), and when he really gets going, he
vibrates the buildings for a hundred meters (at least) in every
direction. Closed windows and earplugs don't work: the
vibrations go right through the skull to the inner ear! I could
definitely live without whatever it is he is putting out!
    I play trumpet for fun, but not a lot lately due to lack of time.

Dan Sulani
