When I retired in 1992, I was determined to have some fun designing and building things that I never had time for in my working years. I also love to sail and explore, so those have figured into my retirement scheme. I've spent my time building a 26 foot sailboat, traveling with my wife Annamarie, doing volunteer work, kayaking, spending time with our children and grand daughter, gardening, cutting firewood to heat our home, helping friends, and sailing. Hobbies include reading, cooking, photography, keeping up my web page and trying to stay up with computers, programming first in basic, then Pascal, and now Applescript. Aging is a challenge. I find I really benefit from my stretching routine and regular aerobic exercise. In October I built this shed which Basil help me put up.
