I like to think of myself as intelligent, humane, independent and considerate. I'm a woodworker (furniture and useful household items). Enjoy puzzles (Xword & anything at krazydad.com). Read a lot of fiction on my phone, mostly thrillers (Coben, Baldacci, Patterson, Herron, Deaver, Monfredo etc.) Like to travel, both within & outside the US. As a volunteer, I teach computer skills to residents of battered women's shelters & also to military veterans dealing with addictions living in halfway houses. I also like to fix things; gives me great satisfaction finding the problem & fixing it
