Welcome good pilgrim.

I believe a relationship must have honest and open communication. Anything less and it will eventually fail. Family has always been supremely important and sacred to me. From the family experience I have learned more and enjoyed greater joy than from any other thing, except personal prayer.

I am an empty-nester half of the time.

I have been told that I have a good heart (no... I don't mean by a cardiologist).

So many... family, hiking in the mountains, history, genealogy, music, movies, linguistics, photography, sports ...
