I am liberal, compassionate, giving, passionate, romantic, and open-minded. I consider myself spiritually religious without the dogma or fundamentalism (attend Mass occasionally). I am retired from IT, but never been my real interest; my interests are paleoanthropology and ancient cultures. I have been writing full-time for the last 5 years. I have published works in poetry and fictional short stories. I love nature, walking and hiking, travel and exploring new places and things. I am not a daredevil. Never bored. Much of my time is spent outdoors, reading or writing. I live a quiet life.
