I've lived in New York State all my life. Haven't travelled much, but never really wanted to. Guess I'm just a homebody. Don't like to be away from my family.
I graduated when I was 17. Have always been interested in word games. Found the crypto in the newspaper when I was in my early teens and have been working them ever since. Nothing serious. No competition or anything, just for fun. I love to read and learn new words. I try to learn at least one a day. Not always possible, though.
I got my first real job with an insurance company when I was 17 right after I graduated, but didn't stay too long. My longest job was my last which was an Assistant Manager for a company that assisted corporation attorneys in filing papers such as Mergers, etc. I stayed there for 36 years and I loved my job. I always wanted to become a paralegal, but never found the time.
I moved to Averill Park from Albany a little more than 20 years ago and love it. Of course, I don't know too many people, not being able to do too much, but I have enough to keep me occupied.
The only hobbies I have are cryptograms, any kind of puzzle or crossword, the computer, and definitely my reading. I also enjoy watching legal programs on TV such as Matlock, Murder She Wrote and Perry Mason. I used to love to walk but I can't do that any more. I was also very active in sports having been into cheerleading, volleyball, softball, etc.
