As you may have guessed, I'm a Democrat, I go to the Philosophy Club, I play trivial pursuit, swim and volunteer fo the Relay for Life. I like to read spirituality books, and occasionally attend lectures on Edgar Cayce or other transcendentalists. And I LOVE politics.

I moved here to care for my mom full time-she was very sick- but she has recovered and we play golf 2x a month, and she has returned to driving, playing bridge, University Women, etc. I now work full-time as physical therapy assistant, and do not plan to retire in The Villages. I like to grow tomatoes in my flower garden. I cannot get the d##n golf cart to work.

I'm also very active in my Church and its social outreach programs, including the Foodbank and Habitat for Humanity
PTown. we need to meet sometime and have a cup of coffee together. Like you I LOVE politics, am a killer at Trivial Pursuit and believe I would enjoy the Philosophy Club. Like your mom, I enjoy bridge. I am active in my church and led the establishment of a major and wildly successful outreach programs.

Just a few weeks after I moved here my wife was the victim of sudden-onset dementia. My time is largely devoted to looking after her.

I believe we would enjoy each others company. Send me a PM if you are interested.

PS - I am a conservative and secondarily a Republican. I'm registered Republican just so I can vote in the primaries.
