Hello,
I have read on here for ages, now I have joined. I am in my early 50s. I am an old school liberal. I work in the computer industry and enjoy outdoor activities like sailing and snowboarding.
I love coming here to keep up with the news, since cable news has degenerated into infotainment. Lovin it!
