I'm having fun being retired and looking forward to whatever comes next.
I grew up in California but escaped to Colorado and then to my present home in Northern Minnesota. My wife and I enjoy living on a small hobby farm in rural Minnesota.
The "middle" portion of my life started with a six year stint in the U.S. Navy and a visit to Viet Nam. After that I went back to school and soon had two children and lots of bills. I went into the sales field and had a great time living on commission.
Being from the "city" most of my life didn't prepare me for country living. I love every minute of it and have a chance to finally hear the sound of silence -- pure quiet that a lot of city folk never get to experience.
