Me Me Me Me Me

John Gray started this on Going Gently – how would I describe myself.

I am lumpy and bumpy and a bit heavier than I was last year

I am a man

A man who loves men – well one in particular – but I find many very attractive

I am an explorer and traveler

I am an adventurer – tempted by getting off the main road

I am a partner, spouse, husband

I am a son to two very elderly parents

A brother to three older siblings

I am an uncle twice

A nephew just once

A first cousin just once

I am a college graduate I have earned a BA and a JD

I am an attorney

I am a real estate broker with a long inactive – but current license

I am a homeowner

I am a product of growing up in a rural area, who likes living in cities

I am a cook, who enjoys cooking

I am a collector and consumer of distilled spirits

I am serious and silly

I have a sarcastic sense of humor

I am a skilled communicator, who can nastily eviscerate with words 
when provoked

I am aging, ungracefully,

I am fiercely loyal

I am slow to make friends, but eager to talk with strangers 

I keep many secrets, including some from myself 

I am a cycling enthusiast, who enjoys moving 

I am an odd duck, who does not always fit in, and for the most part 
I am comfortable with that

I have always been a little socially awkward

I am a helper, a fixer, and I want to make it better person, who has 
learned to try to understand what I can do and what can I not do. 

I am my harshest critic

I am a temporary and ephemeral being in a long term world

I am a driver who has owned 15 cars over the decades
