SkeeballAbout Me
I was born in Georgia a couple of miles from the marker where GA, TN and NC meet. 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)

Hi Willy, Like most holidays I will just be trying to stay out of harms way. My wife tends to get a bit hyper this time of year. We host the Thanksgiving dinner and her brother returns the favor at Christmas. He lives about an hour away in south Jersey. What about you, going anywhere or doing anything special? Earl
