Just thankful to live

I suppose so. But it would be nice to know.

Hi All,

So we find ourselves here at this point in life making friends online. We are all here for different reasons and took different paths to get here.

My question is; What is your passion now? What gets you up in the morning?

Mine is my "job"; so to speak. I continue to make financial sacrifices because I believe I can make a positive difference in the world. Sometimes it is a struggle and feels like a hopeless uphill battle. It is difficult to promote changes that some refuse to embrace because of short term economics and others simply don't get it. Anyway, I try to keep it fun and live within my means so I do not have those personal pressures as a distraction.

Good morning all.

Have a fun and happy April Fools day.

Most of those I have lost ... but there are a few remaining. :)

(I'll just pretend I am in California so I can say it is still morning)

Good Morning All!

This looks like a cool sandbox. Can I play too?

I brought some toys (experiences) to share (chat about).

I traveled a fair amount.
Spent almost 22 years in the USMC.
Have three children.
Enjoy music of almost all genres.
Enjoy the beach (a lot).
Enjoy museums of all types.
Re-learning to play guitar.
I am VERY passionate about my research. Because of this I have chosen to live very modestly.
I have started writing a general interest non-fiction book.
I cleanup pretty good.
Not too many people stare when I go out in public (though I think a few maybe laughing). <-- joke okay?
I have a serious sarcastic streak that I have learned to reign in a bit.

Enough room for me? :-)

See you all soon.
