here it starts

I'm 55 and have been Lost in a Vintage Life for as far as I can remember. It's everywhere around me. From running a family business dating back to 1918 for over 25 years, to part owning a Mid-Century Modern Store in the 1980's to a co-owning a Women's Vintage Store now. I have bought more Lingerie and dresses than 10 women will buy in their lifetime. (no, I have not worn any!)

I guess this is my point of beginning to explain myself to myself. 
I am an old school man in many parts of my mind. That means I respect women and have the internal honor and respect for them. I respect all no matter of their sex, preferences, color, abilities or disabilities. In that way I leave that old Vintage man behind to wither and die in the desert.

I have a problem. I like to buy things. No don't go there. I can afford them!
I am surrounded by Vintage items to go with my Vintage mind. 
I have collected piles and piles of Books, Clothes, Records, Paintings, Art Glass, Pottery, Furniture, Photos, Cars, Memorabilia and more.
It's not stupid stuff, it's really extremely collectible items from the last 100 years as I have been at it since the late 1970's. 

I have another problem. I have boundless energy. I do more in a day than most do in 3 days. my mind is faster than that, but we will let that problem for another day, if and when I do.

This may never be read by anyone, although it is accessible to the complete world if they have access to the web. It's really not my intent to expose myself, but it is very silent around me now and I have no outlet. It has been a long life filled with adventure and disaster. I have many faults, as we all do, but I have a uncanny ability to rise above both my disappointments and life's many challenges. 
I am internally optimistic and happy. I don't know why. Asking this puzzling question with what I have come through, sometimes haunts me.
I have never done anything like this, so it is a challenge. My grammar, spelling and writing skills have never been my strong skills. I may ramble on making no sense to anyone but myself, but then again this is for me.
Numbers (Fibonacci numbers in nature, art, geometry, architecture, music), impossible challenges, adventure, love and caring for others are my strong skills.

And with this I start
