Why I like the things I like

I always believe that you should know where someone who is voicing an opinion is “coming from.” That means you need to know a little about them. That way you will “get it” when they recommend something.

I am a fairly average guy in my mid 60s. My interests include my family, traveling, photography, cooking, technology (anything Apple--been a Mac user since 1984) theater, television, film and more. I work for myself and have for more than 30 years. I love my life and I love living in the Seattle area. Given a choice, I wouldn’t live anywhere else.

And as of January 2018, I have to add that I am a travel agent with Expedia CruiseShipCenters of Redmond. You can read about that by clicking here.
