      | |  | At least three people have recently called me “an adventurer”. It may look that way from a distance but nothing is further from the truth. I spent 38 years in air traffic control; in which it is very unwise to be adventurous. Therefore, I am good at avoiding adventure; when possible.
 
 After retirement, I bought the sailing vessel we call “Shibumi”.  Jill and I take an annual sailing voyage; normally to the tropics. Even in doing so, my sail plan is to avoid adventure.
 
 I live in Florida when not living aboard Shibumi. Most of my days include, at minimum: Tai Chi, meditation, reading, writing, music, and the capture of at least one photograph.
 
 Welcome.
