CURRENT MISSION

To make contact with people whom I probably wouldn't make contact with otherwise

ABOUT ME

I'm relatively outgoing, reasonably physically fit (for a 60 year old) and laugh a fair amount - though I'm not that good at telling jokes, most of my comedy comes from playing with words.
I'm lucky enough to have been happily married to Jane for 30 years and to have 3 kids whom I both love and like and with whom I have a good relationship.
I'm often told that I'm challenging, meaning that I have a habit of encouraging people to express their views and then challenging them to support the views which they have expressed.
Financially I'm comfortable without being wealthy in any grand sense - I still 'count pennies'!

PHILOSOPHY

Feel good about yourself and when you don't feel good about any aspect of you find out what's wrong and fix it.
Be open and honest with everyone and offer everyone respect until they show you that they are not worthy of your respect.
