Yes, I am a 46 year old man who does selfies. I have been told I am like a teenage girl in my doing so many selfies. I enjoy being a dork and that is one way I do that. There are more interesting things in the world to post about and I hope to encounter more of that through life.

Thanks to each of you who follow me on all my platforms. I appreciate your friendships and how you tell your stories of who you are and what you enjoy doing.
