I'm retired. I am a Navy veteran 1973 - 1980. I did not marry until 2017, lucky me. I live on 10 acres, am serious-minded but can be funny. I exercise to a DVD, on a stationary bike, or while working outside. I have a good vocabulary and I write poetry and keep a journal. I am deeply concerned with social justice and the environment. My husband and I take trips at least once a year by car mostly Eastern. We love Gettysburg Military Park. My childhood was tough, but I have a rich and full life now. I believe that reality is not optional and in rigorous honesty.
