Hi! My name is Rick Billies and this is my middle age diary. This year I will be 63 and it is increasingly apparent that there is more of life behind me than there is in front of me. This site was supposed to be a hub for my internet sites but along the way my focus has changed. I decided that all of the non-political things that I have to talk about will appear here. I hope those of you in the same age group as me will appreciate where I’m going with this. Thanks for tuning in and and I hope that you find my posts worthy of your time.
