71 years old. Ride a 2016 Honda Rebel motorcycle 24/7/365. Haven't owned a 4-wheel vehicle in 20 years and seldom ride in one. Wish I could live on an English Narrow Boat (Canal Boat). I can't dance worth a hoot, but I do it anyway, and so should you. I love reading both fiction and non-fiction, and I'm fond of children's and young-adult books, but only the excellent ones. And I try to avoid books/movies where a sympathetic character dies (ex: Old Yeller) I use Ubuntu Linux and FLOSS (Free, Libre, Open-Source) software.
