About Me

My photo
From New Britain & Bristol, CT now in Cochiti Lake, New Mexico, United States
I am a reluctantly-retired, no-longer self-employed, gay baby boomer who came out relatively late in life due to taking my Catholic upbringing much too seriously. I've been with my loving partner since 1988 and we married on October 25, 2014. We moved from a small house on a few of acres of woods in Connecticut to a small house in a unique community New Mexico in November 2015. I worked for non-profits and the like so have no retirement plan other than to work as little as possible, enjoy as much as possible and hope for the best, which is not at all practical. I have a rebellious streak but I am not heroic by any means, thus the "reluctant" part of my blog title. Our 100 pound Labrador/Weimaraner "Benni" took over our lives for 11 years since we adopted him as a rescue puppy in 2010. He even had his own blog. Our beloved Benni had to be euthanized in August of 2021. We miss him dearly. We like the outdoors, traveling and RVing. Oh, I recently published a book (September 2014), a memoir to be exact, which I hope will be at least somewhat entertaining. You can read "Did You Ever See A Horse Go By?" for free on my other blog. https://didyoueverseeahorsegoby.blogspot.com/
