Hi there. I´m just retired and enjoy not being forced to go to work, you know. I am leading a withdrawn life more or less, meaning I am not a stage hog, I am the one, who prefers staying in the back. The most important person for me is my 21-year-old daughter, living in another city. First I used to work as a newspaper reporter, later for the last 30 years for an American company in Germany on alarm systems in banks and so on. That was not a bad job, but now I am glad, I can relax and have more time for reading, communicating with friends. I have some experience with pen pals.
