The Urban Jungle

Columbia, SC

I am an urban dweller, one who seeks the creature comforts of my 3.5 ton air conditioner in the hot summer months, existing primarily indoors, indulging those technical pursuits which still interest me, and pretty much laying low outside the high profiles of those who seek that notoriety for which I no longer have any wish.

My day is filled with coding, creating various pictoral representations of things, and pursuing my activites of daily living on the side.

It's a rather drab life in my opinion, but I prefer it to the wide open tap dance in which I have been engaged in the past.

There are stark realities to growing older. I don't have that drive which once sent me hither, thither, and yon in pursuit of things social and/or sexual. I don't really have a goodly amount of energy, but my new physician has assured me this will change when I get on the testosterone shots we have in the works.

It seems my lab work qualifies me once again.

All I live for anymore is taking care of mama and seeing that she has nothing lacking in the way of those things I can do ...

You know, cut the lawn, accompany her to various venues, and perhaps grabbing a spot of lunch together.

As for the rest of you, if you're not associated with work you are a blur in my peripheral vision as I tend to those matters which I feel are significant.

I don't begrudge your existence but don't get in my way.

This is me. I may be old, but like the Terminator guardian in Genisys I'm not obsolete by a LONG shot.
