I am a middle-aged woman living in Southern California. For work, I am a software engineer, and for fun I like to socialize or do sports with my friends.I try to swim a mile every day (~1600m for those in the civilized world).I have no children of my own, but I am very involved in the lives of my three nieces and one nephew. They are all grown now, with the youngest just turning 18.I like to keep informed on what is going on around the world, and I love learning history. I like math and math puzzles too.I am deeply dissatisfied with the social and political trends in the USA.
