I'm retired and worked most of my life in the financial industry, first in banking, then brokerage. I am married, with two grown children who live in the US with their respective families. We have a couple of chihuahuas whom we spoil rotten. Health problems keep me home much of the time, but I enjoy meeting and talking to different people, and hearing their stories, especially funny ones. I love to laugh, at myself, life, learning, experiences, growing. There is a humorous side to life, and humor is a good way to lift people's spirits.
