I am a Christian pastor, now retired and living in Port St Lucie, FL and Bradenton Beach, FL. My wife Judy and I enjoy the symphony, theater, eating out, and conversation with friends. Grandchildren continue to make our lives rich. I also enjoy tennis, running, golf, composing music, playing several concerts each year on organ and piano (classical and jazz). I also enjoy fooling around in the stock market, especially the wonderful world of derivatives. I'm interested in just about everything that's part of our wonderful world: tropical fish, books, friends, good food, gardening, new technology, photography, how things work, why they don't sometimes... I'm curious about life in all its parts. I just picked up chess again a few years, and am looking forward to learning more by playing on "Red Hot Pawn." Maybe I'll make some new friends in the process!
