I am a retired programmer Analyst currently living in Florida. I have no complaints about my career, in fact I miss it. it took me around the world: Australia, Saudi Arabia, Trinidad,England and Germany. Retirement can be boring. I tried painting, terible with landscapes, good with portraits. However just a step or two above medioctity. I am hoping writing will allow me to feel a little more accomplished.
