I am a retired pharmacist from a hospital in the city of Baltimore, 42 years (about 45 miles from Washington), and my wife Betty is a retired nurse (from a different hospital). We have been married 47 years. We have two daughters. Sharon is 44 and is also a pharmacist. Kathy is 42 and is a physical therapist. Each of them have wonderful husbands, a son, and a daughter. Betty and I still do some babysitting for the two younger ones.
I have taught myself some Spanish. My wife and I like to travel. We’ve been to Italy, Spain, Portugal, Peru, Bolivia, China, Panama, Costa Rica, China, South America, the British Isles, and many other countries. We have several more trips scheduled. We have done some cruises on the Caribbean and two great riverboat cruises, the Rhine and the Danube.
I get plenty of exercise, including a 5k run three times a week. I read a lot and am mediocre at computer chess.

I do have Spanish email friends in Spain & Argentina, and an Italian friend in Sardinia (I'm not very good with Italian, despite my last name)

Classical, Rock 'n' Roll

I don't watch many movies, but I liked Jurassic Park and some of its sequels. I am more prone to enjoy some movies with grandkids, like Zootopia or Shreck

I don't watch much TV, some news programs. I do watch The Daily Show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and believe it or not, I find Ghosts to be very clever.
