Cleverly Disguised As A Responsible Adult

Also known as CDAARA. CD (see-Dee) to my friends, sih-DARR-uh (soft "c") if you insist on formality, or perhaps Cleverly, for Sundays. When thinking of myself, I tend to spell out all the letters. How silly is that, considering we don't refer to ourselves in third person? Back when the web was new(er) and most sites didn't have field character limits, I used the entire phrase. Small wonder my friends shortened it to the acronym.

I'm a Web Developer, and a Food Photographer. Politically liberal. Lovin' life. Also love music, my daughter and granddaughters, the sound of waves on a beach, the lake, a lazy afternoon with friends, or a drive over the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway. Proud of my half-century +3.

I believe in giving back, helping others -- just because. I volunteer with a local women's safe house program that offers counseling and social services. As part of a technology partnership, I build, customize, and maintain exotic computer systems provided to disabled children. I am so in awe of the resilience and courage of these kids.

I'm friendly and outgoing. My life has been immeasurably enriched by so many of those I've met, online and off. What can you and I learn from each other?

Toughness is measured not by what you can dish out, but by how much you can take.
