Just a single retired fella living on the Pacific Northwest, on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula! Love my family, friends, playing viola (and chamber music), cooking, maintaining my vegetable garden, riding my bicycle, hiking the Olympic Mountains, Forest, and Seashore... and getting together with warm, affectionate folks.

I collect stamps, books, briar pipes, sheet music, and warm memories.

I very much appreciate the favorites, kind comments, and compliments I've received here; thanks! A lot of different kinds of people come to this site. Play nice together, folks. Keep your remarks clean and respectful to everyone, okay?
