I am retired. I retired from educational psychology at 27, ran a beef farm for 30 years or so, built my dream home and here I am, 6 years later. Read a lot. Took up playing croquet, but I don't think I can sustain that, since my knees get cranky. The hoped for social benefit didn't pay off. Did I mention I read a lot? :-P Once a week or so I go to the film club where they show "art house films" - I really want a buddy to go with, but I don't have one. I love cooking and food; I volunteer as editor for amateur writers. Oh, and I love woodwork, making furniture. Pen pals since 1985!
