Considering the amout of time he has, Melvin has become an avid reader.

He enjoys discussing politics, religion, current event, world history, art and music.

Melvin is also a poet and author of two books:  "Deliberate Thought, Reflections of What I've Pondered" and "The hidden Deep".  He's currently working on his third book:  "Renaissance of Consciousness".

Art is another thing Melvin really enjoys, drawing since grade school, he has worked in many mediums from acrylic to watercolor, although he has'nt had the opportunity to experiment with oil he looks forward to one day using it.

He's recently found himself under the tutelage of Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) and William H. Johnson (1901-1970) who both seem to put forth an artistic philosophy of "Idea over Technique", a philosophy Melvin finds very intriguing.

Learning to read and write music, Melvin's poetry has awaken what he calls "A natural blending of two loves".  He say's his poems are:  "Lyrics waiting to dance with music".
