\"\"I am an average older gent and former biker who lives the greater suburban sprawl of Washington, DC, USA, and in my second country, Canada, during summers. <\/p>\n

I retired at the end of December 2019. My husband who I loved and adored died in January, 2021. We lived a life of honest love, respect, and support for some 28 years.<\/p>\n

I keep busy as a volunteer to serve my community (in Maryland) in various ways as a Life Member of several community-based organizations. I have developed a talent for photography, and travel extensively in Canada for that creative hobby.<\/p>\n

I collect and write about boots because I have been wearing boots since I was a kid. During the 2000s when I worked in management, I also acquired dress shoes and some tailored business suits which are a “later-years” interest, as I am not a gay leather fetish guy any more.<\/p>\n

I also enjoy blogging, building and maintaining websites, and being involved with my alma mater. <\/p>\n

I used to enjoy riding motorcycles, but gave up riding in 2024 due to older-age health issues. I loved riding since 1980. <\/p>\n

There’s not much more to say… I am just a quiet, gay senior dude enjoying life, maintaining my home, hobbies, and serving my community.
