People who believe in Astrology would say I'm a Leo and could find characteristics that match (and I'd find some that didn't). I simultaneously younger and older than my age typically represents in American society. I'm a SCUBA diving, gun-shooting, motorcycle cruising computer geek who enjoys reading Science Fiction and watching movies (the ones made prior to 2000 I enjoy more than newer products of a different Hollywood). I'm currently retired from my computer career and have turned my photography hobby into a part time job that I enjoy a great deal. I mostly enjoy event photography and also flying a quad copter (drone) to take photos and videos. I love my family, I have few friends and have been investing in Cryptocurrency. My biggest challenge is keeping my weight under control. Once skinny, I was subsequently obese, then in great shape -- and now I'm just plain old fat - but working on it.

What happened to regular updates? I just didn't feel like updating this site when I spend so much time on Facebook; I'm not really sure how much time I'll spend on it going forward. Sometimes I think I should but then again, who'd read it and why? Perhaps the best reason might to be update where I am in life now and who I've become. My persona on FB is considerably different than my true personal life.
