SkeeballAbout Me
Born on the banks of Georgia's Toccoa river a couple of miles from the marker where GA, TN and NC meet I have been wandering like the river ever since. I found my first passion, reading, at the age of five. By age ten I had discovered kayaking, hiking and camping. I discovered what everyone discovers at fourteen or fifteen. Cars! Sports cars, eventually Triumph Spitfires and Saab Sonetts. At seventeen came scuba and computers courtesy of the US Navy. At twenty-three, marriage and a family forced me to start acting as nearly normal as possible while working in field service on all the many types of computers. Retirement several years ago from a technical consulting position and a 46th wedding anniversary celebrated 5/19/09 indicate I made a few good decisions over the years
Interests:
Some of the ways I try to help make the world a better place are http://www.nrdc.org/ , http://www.savebiogems.org/ , http://www.oceana.org/international-home-nao/ and http://www.biologicaldiversity.org/ among many others. Play time is kayaking, scuba, hiking, backpacking, camping and computersMy Photos (20)

I never do this. I never leave exactly the same message to each one of my friends but I'm going to do it today. In the last month I have heard of two friends who have experienced a TIA (commonly known as a mini-stroke). One is a man in his 40s and the other a woman in her 50s. In honor of these dear people and all the loved ones my family has lost to heart disease I am sending this same message to each of my friends.
Jcofla has a profile here on AARP that you need to see. Please, take just a few minutes to read John's journal "Breakfast in Bed" and to watch three short videos about the American Heart Association's "Go Red For Women Day". Then take another minute to tell John thank you! You can find his profile here:

Great! We have a winter storm warning and are expecting at least a foot of snow. I never got to drive my little Jeep in the snow during the 2 1/2 years I had it. My truck is only 5 weeks old and I will get to test it's capabilities tomorrow
