I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I live on a farm on the Canadian Prairies. I enjoy the quiet and puttering around on my farm. I don't actually farm, but I love being here. I am close enough to the city to work in it every day.

My interests vary. I am interested in history to astronomy to computers to gardening. I continue to learn new things and broaded the knowledge I already have.I like to read. My interests vary also. I try to read good novels (hit or miss), self help and whatever history books pique my interest.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

There are many people I would like to meet. Current world leaders. Stephen Hawking would be interesting. He has accomplished so much when everything was stacked against him. John Mellencamp would be a thrill. I almost met him. I was staying at the same hotel as him.There are many people in history I would like to meet. Winston Churchill, whoever built the pyramids, Charlemagne, Leonado da Vinci and other leaders and great minds of history.I would like to meet new friends that have new interests that would they like to share with me. Take me on their adventures with them. I would like to meet people with simular interests to mine.
