About IndyMo

Super Contributor

Tell us about yourself:

Love to travel,(cruises-mostly), enjoy cooking, Masonry-where I am a 32nd degree member in both Scottish Rite and York Rite, enjoy gardening, philately(sounds obscene doesn't it-just stamp collecting!) home brewing and drinking of beer, metal detecting.

Area of knowledge and what I know well:

I know women really well, because I've been married to a great one for 62 years. And that first part was a darned lie! Used to write a sports-car column for the Elkhart, In, newspaper, drove a lot of exotic cars-fun!

Bio

I have a wide range of interests including, but not limited to, cruises, masonry, gardening, stamp collecting, home brewing beer and sports cars!

Certificates/Awards

Been retired for so long, I can't even remember, plus they don't mean very much to me anymore-capice?

Observations of the changing Generations

I've been watching a streaming feature travel guy who is a bachelor in his late 40's, and who still loves to go to theme-parks and play many of the electronic games he played as a youth. This got me to remembering an article I came across some time a...

Florida Housing shortage & price inflation

My wife & I have our eye on doing some "snow-birding" this winter, but we are not sure we can "pull it off" financially. We have kids in the Tampa bay/St. Pete areas so we are kind of tied in to that general vicinity. I am looking in to renting a ma...
