Trying to make sense of a complex federal government made unsafe and dangerous by billionaires & political predators while trying to enjoy life as a retiree is irritating but it beats working ‘for the man’ (look it up).

Retirement for me is about the luxury to wake each day to do or not to do without a bother; for this I am extremely grateful.

Traveling is upmost on my mind and in my heart these past few months and I look forward to having many adventures to chronicle here on RO (a change from writing about the nutters in Washington, war profiteers and human suffering).
