More about me

I got bored this past winter and went back to school. Studying Criminal Justice at a local college. Already finished half the classes and hope to get my certificate in Internet Crime Investigation by Fall. 

I'm hale and hearty, have a great sense of humor, love life, satire and enjoy good company. I enjoy activities that involve both physical and intellectual energy, try to do weight training every day and usually ride my bicycle on the days that I can't get to the gym. I've been heavily involved as a volunteer for the past 15 years, delivering Meals-on-wheels as much as three times a week for the two years I lived in Georgia and doing the same in Florida until recently; volunteered almost full time for over a year for the Senior Games here in Florida. Had to give up both of those activities because of the price of gas and the wear and tear on my wheels. In the past I've worked with Special Olympics, as well as for a non-profit organization that helped unemployed people. Currently doing disaster relief work for the Red Cross. I've been fortunate enough to spend in excess of two weeks each doing relief work in CA wildfires in 07, the tornados in TN and floods in Iowa and Illinois this year. My most recent opportunity is to train as a First Responder. Very fulfilling.

People chide me for spending more time looking out for others than tending to my own financially interest, but I didn't seem to acquire the necessary gene that drives personal ambition and material wealth. I'd rather be doing what feels right and enjoying life, than working for money. I enjoy hard work and being busy, but am not driven to have THINGS. Both of my business ventures were initiated by my business partners.

 

I probably mentioned that I'm in good health. It has been at least 30 years since I went to the doctor with any complaints. The last time I was in a hospital was in 1968 for hernia repair. I do go for regular checkups and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle and take medication to control my cholesterol. i can no longer say I've not been to the doctor with any complaints. I foolishly tried to take up a new sport at the age of 75, tennis. Bad move. Twisted something in my hip area and can only dance a couple of nights a week for now.
