I'm a retired college professor of biology. I directed the honors program at Colorado State University for 12 years. I enjoy plants, animals, gardening, hiking, drinking coffee and talking about everything. I am a writer of two college texts and around 12 novels--American Westerns, Fantasy, Cats. I'm easy to talk to and love conversation on a variety of topics. I'd like to improve my written and spoken French. I love French cinema and culture. I've raised goats, horses, donkeys, alpacas, and different kinds of birds. I lived on a farm for 12 years. I like dogs, especially Great Pyranee.
