Hi Paul. I just turned 66, so I'm another one of the oldies but goodies on the site, just like you. And also like you, I like chess, love butterflies and nature in general, and I'm a walker as well. I think it's cool that you're so far away geographically, yet this writing community manages to bring us all a little closer together with one another. Welcome. We're glad to have you. I look forward to reading more of your stories :-)
