I'm 40 ish, bomb proof and unsinkable. I tend to take cannon ball blasts into what I had planned for life very well. I'm into kayaking and wild life rehabbing, conservative in politics and in driving habits. I loathe cell phones and texting drivers. I've lived in all four corners of the US and a dozen or so places in between, seen most of the world. Wyoming or Idaho would be nice to call home, but my first choice would be Bali. The parts of the day I love the best are when I wake up to that lug of a golden retriever of mine and get to say 'mornin lunkhead, let's hit it.' I used to be a lap swim junkie before nearly being killed in a carwreck that left me with arthritis in all the parts that need to move to swim instead of sink - - But I STILL love the feel of gliding through the water. When I swim I think of one word: "blue" it's meditative and overall pretty darn cool. Fessing up to being a b***h hardly negates the grief one causes by achieving excellence in the field.
