As a retired sociologist and philosopher, optimistic and pragmatic dad of 2 sons, I search an interesting female pen pal to write about our present and past in a broad way. What is left from our expectations of life we had in our younger years? Did we meet the life we hoped for? What do we expect from future years? Is it safe to say modern developments (social media and so on) did actually enhance the quality of our existence? News, science, music, sports, nature, I walk our dog 3 times per day, a wide array of topics does interest me.
