I am a 57 year old father of three. retired naval officer. lifelong democrat. currently work in facilities management for a large northeastern utility.

I am about three years away from my second retirement, at which time, my wife and I will hopefully move to San Miguel, Mexico and really work at becoming human BEINGS as opposed to human DOINGS.

my interests on sites like this are primarily middle eastern foreign affairs.

my interests away from here are golf, bridge, choral singing, gourmet cooking.
