For now, stuck in Western Washington.
I'm a 58 year old retired (last month) computer systems analyst.
My wife, Sheryl, is a retired dental office manager.
I have been involved in the shooting sports since 1970, conventional pistol competition.
Since then have done metallic silhouette, high power rifle, smallbore rifle, IMSA, hunter's pistol.
Have also done a little IDPA.
Had a sailboat for about 9 years starting in '89. Covered most of Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands. Arthritis and costs brought an end to that.
Been a libertarian and/or hard-ass conservative for as long as I can remember.
A graduate degree in business administration only hardened my resolve.
Ran for Bellevue City Council in 1999 against the big business machine.
Lost 23 to 77%. A real eye-opening experience.
In 2004 we spent the whole month of June on vacation in Cody, WY.
Our kind of place, our kind of people.
Unfortunately, my mother lives in Seattle and won't come with us to WY.
I'm an only child so I won't leave her behind.
So until something changes, Sheryl and I are stuck here.
But my best wishes are with all of you.

Bellevue, WA
