I enjoy thoughtful correspondence — not rushed. I play old-time fiddle music and, in retirement, have been building fiddles and mandolins in my workshop. I prefer writing letters over rapid-fire exchanges.I sometimes reflect on dreams and keep a journal. I’m not religious, but I’m open to sincere conversation with people of any belief. My outlook is often philosophical, and I’m interested in the big questions of life. Caregiving is also part of my world now, as my partner lives with dementia.
