I have done & experienced more in this life time than I would have thought possible had I tried to plan the path I ended up traveling.  I had a healthy and active family life growing up. And I am starting to believe that is difficult to come by in todays social environment, but hope I'm wrong.  I spent 5 years in the US Military and that is full of its own life's experiences.  I lived, studied and worked in Asia.  Lived in Hawaii for 30 years. Both experiences filled with there own story lines.  I always enjoyed where ever I was for what ever those places had to offer, and what ever I could learn and give back brought about some unique opportunities and lead to some life long friendships, and a couple of not so friendly relationships.  Such is life.  

At age 57 I Returned to the place I grew up and never felt so at home any other place I lived.  And that feeling of time and place really did catch me by surprise.  The above life, experiences, mistakes and successes give me a perspective on this life we live that I hope will prove both interesting and informative.  

I am always open to questions, constructive criticism, suggestions and if you like what you read, I'd love to hear about that also.  I am pretty pragmatic in the way I view the things in my world,  and I try to understand as many sides of a discussion or argument as I find meaningful.  But I have learned that some views, ideas, opinions, judgments are just crap and to understand some of them would often require a PhD in psychology or maybe sociology at a minimum, along with a huge capacity to be tolerant of other people's bad judgement.  I stopped trying to find the rationale in irrational behavior years ago. 

Thanks for stopping by   

I hope to get to know some of you as time goes by.
