One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Nothing in particular. Ordinary things. I like to be surprised and surprice. O yes, I've been to a grey hound stadium whitch I liked very much.

Teach, Learn, Share

Private, reserved people, I suppose. That's easy, because I'm private and reserved myself. It might be good to meet people with another, more group oriented attitude as well.

A laugh, a good chat, 39 years of life experience (during which nothing much spectacular happened), ideas.
