CURRENT MISSION

Simple: Enjoy the life I have left and not be governed by the government!

ABOUT ME

Retired twice, tired of red tape, I have a dog who loves me in spite of the fact that I sometimes forget to feed her!

PHILOSOPHY

You do what you can with what you have! Happiness is a measurement of what you are.
