Retired from teaching in 2006. Been loafing or playing music or grandfathering ever since. I didn't say I was pretty. I've been on oxygen since pneumonia in 2015. Bitching and bellyaching are definite activities and some explanation of my social isolation.

We live on our choices, of course. I choose Firefox for my browser which I highly recommend to you. FIREFOX is the creation of Mozilla, a non-profit dedicated to a HUMANE Internet that protects rather than preys upon ordinary users like me. I support it, too, and recommend it to my friends.
