Being married for 19 years, (although we were together 23), raising two daughter and putting them through college with another long term relationship of 11 years after a divorce. I'm pretty much just into finishing my career and looking forward to retirement and spending time with my grandson and my hobbies.

I truly believe the cliché, that, "yesterdays the past...can't change it.....tomorrows a mystery (and promised to no one)..... todays a gift....that's why it's called the present." I now live a very quite life although some would say I boarder on reclusive at times in a small older home with woods behind me ...(read more)
