	Hi everyone, hope you are all well.  Wow time flies doesn't it?  well it's just over 4 years since my divorce was final.  Still single and to be honest happy that way.  I tried the dating thing and it's just not for me.  The games, the meat market atmosphere and so on, it's just not fun.  I guess some of us enjoy the comfort of established relationships. 
 
 
	I had a few losses over the last few years, my younger sister passed from als in 2018 and my father passed last year just due to old age.  I also found some blood family through dna as I was adopted, so I have a half sister and we continue to interact.  I met my birth mother and that was not great so I have no contact with her.  I guess a 54 year old secret is a tough one to swallow when it comes out. 
 
 
	So on the whole things are good, the losses are normal things that happen over the years, doesn't make them easy but I know they are in a better place. 
 
 
	Take care everyone, stay safe during this virus.
