Squarely

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste, I've been around for some long, long years...

I just a guy who likes chess and wine and gambling and laughter.  I enjoy buying and selling art and collectables on Ebay.  Trained as a classical musician, linguist, and information analyst, I entered the military in covert operations in 1970 Vietnam.  Now in retirement, I enjoy the beauty in California, Japan, Hawaii, Alaska, or Spain.  A government contractor, and member of both the Free Enterprise Institute and Mensa, I have acquired a sensitivity for art and honesty, and decisiveness.   Childhood curiosity and extensive education has resulted in a person who can look back on life philosophically.  Over all, a good ride. Oh, I give loving kindness to everyone except fanatics.  There is no hate except for those who hate.  Good things happen due to military strength and patriotism.  Peace Out.
