i am retired from teaching. i love this time of my life.

i choose to live in the midwest because of the variety of geography and weather. i have been riding a motorcycle a LOT for each of the past 45 years. harley for the last 25.

spontaneous is a VERY good thing! it is hard to coordinate activities otherwise, i find.

regarding sports, i have NEVER seen a professional or college sporting event either live or on TV. i never will. that is by choice. i hear plenty about felonies committed by these "heroes" on at least a weekly basis. that does it for me!

this is often mis-read as "hating" sports! no clue why.

sitting in a quiet place, usually a park to enjoy the quiet. laughing and talking. watching for that "click" that may happen when least expected.
