Im 67, divorced, with two grown children and three grandchildren whom I love very much. I live near the wine country in Northern California. I am a self-employed business and tax consultant, with a number of relevant professional licenses, which I prefer not to disclose here. I am conservative politically, meaning: capitalist, hetero, anti-abortion, Christian, pro-strong military, and anti-enviro-fools. I have no patience with chip-on-the-shoulder people who want to be coddled, and expect me to be "politically correct" when referring to them, their group, or their activities. Nor do I have any patience with anything that even approaches socialism. America was built on self-reliance, and most of our problems today stem from peoples' misguided sense of "entitlement". I have plenty of complexity and stress in my business, and in my offtime, I enjoy simple things and nice people. I am near the ocean, which I love. I enjoy woodworking and refinishing furniture. I read a lot, including history, biography, and many forms of fiction.See above.
