Bio

I am a 70 year old retired construction worker. My wife and I live in a small old house in a wooded hollow with lots of mice, snakes and bugs. Just like a Disney movie. Our favorite places to go are old architecturally interesting libraries, used book stores and anywhere that bears no indication of human progress.

Favourite Quotations
