After 35 years of business world travel, I retired to our mountain home in Northern California. Playing golf, reading, and writing story posts to my blog occupies much of my time. My wife and I met in High School, and will be married for 53 years in June 2012. Currently I am writing true stories of my many interesting exeriences. At some point I will bind the stories into a book for the family see: tmac-traveltales.blogspot.com I enjoy music (jazz primarily), and love a good mystery-suspense novel. Historical non-fiction books are also a favorite. Exploring on my 2003 Vespa motor scooter is fun.
