I am semi-retired and spend my time with my four dogs and five fish. I enjoy handicrafts, in particular crochet and cross stitching. In my younger days, I was nicknamed McGyver because I was always looking for new ways to solve old problems with the things I had lying around. (I still do that.) I enjoy walking the cliffs near my home; there is something soothing about the waves crashing against the rocks that can make daily problems seem small, helping me to remember I am just a tiny piece of a much larger existence.
