Evening, Wisdom and Beauty

The best portion of a good man's life is the little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
 William Wordsworth
The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live.

Hi there - great pictures.

A saying I like seems to be a twist on one of your quotes here:
"Family is Gods revenge for letting you pick your own friends!"

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
