Just joined.

I'm a conservative (not a Republican). I take myself way too seriously some of the time. Some of my buds think it's all the time.

I enjoy Italian food, as does my wife. We even enjoy it at Olive Garden (does that disqualify the previous statement?)

We're square dancers and motorcycle riders, though my wife is usually reluctant on the later.

We've lived in California, Oregon (currently), Florida, and Washington. The NorthWest is our choice, and we don't intend to scamper around any further.

We're grandparents. Just got back from a graduation north of Seattle for one of our grandsons. That qualifies us as "old codgers", but we both hope it doesn't equate to either political naivety or downright stupidity.

I've tended to hop around quite a bit, here. I've been a political poster for a very long time, and "ID'ing" me from previous boards is something I'd just as soon leave alone...

Have a good day, everyone.

Welcome aboard. I hope to see you active out on the threads.

Welcome!, you'll find some great discussions and even better friends here.
