 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

Blisfully enjoying making my own schedule (which keeps us pretty busy) and enjoying spending enough time together with Cynthia as to make up for the over 11 years of separation that the Army asked us to endure. 

Cynthia is a prolific quiliter and really spends most of her time doing just that, along with managing my time to the best use. 

I am an avid outdoorsman, hunter and fisherman, both Lake Michigan for Salmon, and inland lakes for panfish.

When not fishing or puttering around the house, from October 1st to the end of the year, deer hunting becomes my life.  I won't bore you with it here, but I would share lies with anyone interested in listening.
