Hello from Mike Saunders - glad to be here

By
Real Estate Agent with Retired

Hi,

 Glad to be here ( is that redundant if it is also said in the title?).

 I am Mike Saunders and (not that you should be either impressed with the name or familiar with it). I am impressed with the amount of information (and opinion) available on this site.

Starting a 2nd career after a lifetime in high tech (from which I took an almost 5 year sabbatical so my wife and I could get to know each other better after getting married.)

 I promise, to those that care, I will be updating (ok, originally posting) my profile in the near future, as soon as I can get a picture that won't send women & children screaming.

Hi Mike, and thanks for commenting on my post about my very sick brother.  The rain really is a great place to grow, constantly learn, share and even make a few good friends along the way.

All - thanks for the welcome. I imagine I will be spending some time discovering most of the neat things on this site.

As for becoming addicted - well, might be too late for that.
