TRIP TO INDIA I took a trip to India. I'd been wanting to go for several years and passed up the opportunity to go to Mumbai in 2006 for a friend's wedding, deciding instead to go to Greece. Check out the following links for the: [India trip summary] [Photo albums]
WINEMAKING In the fall of 2006, I started making wine in my basement fron a kit I purchased online. A couple of weeks into the process I found myself missing a part and was lucky enough to find the Rochester Winemakers site. Tom Banach, the organization's president, offered me much-needed help. It's the perfect hobby for someone with a short attention span. It's hard work but it's all concentrated in the fall. The rest of the time you're waiting. The more you procastinate, the better it gets. Click here to see the progress.

About this site
My name is Simos, or Simon, Economides. This is the latest version of a site I've been updating sporadically for about the last 10 years. I live in the Park Avenue area of Rochester, NY with my wife, Eleni. Over the years, my site's changed along with my intertest from one concentrating to electro-acoustic music, travel and web design to winemaking, aviation, crafts or whatever I'm into the the moment.
