About Me

“If you find what you love to do, you’ll never have to work a day in your life”, was the advice my Grandfather gave me in high school. I didn’t know what that was, but I figured I had time to figure it out. Now I find myself over 40, broke, separated and no closer to finding an answer to my grandfather’s question.I always figured a good job was one where I could wear jeans and bring my dogs. Since those jobs don’t appear to be hiring, I’m just going to have to make one myself.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other folks who like to laugh at themselves, but understand that laughing at someone else is even better.
