About Me:: I'm younger in body & mind then most 50+ year olds & in better shape, I'm 6 Ft. at 170 Lbs., NO Belly, and yes I can see my shoes when I look down...lol.
I worked out a lot when I was a Firefighter. Had to stay in good shape, My Life may have depended on it......
My Life Style has provided me with unparalleled opportunity to develop my mind and body, while teaching me I was not the center of the universe. I have strong Christian values, All is possible with God in your life..
I am not as concerned with whether my glass is half empty or half full as I am with what it is filled with.....
I bought My "06" Harley Softail when My last child moved out..
