I want to introduce myself a bit since I think I fall outside the norm of the group. I am older (74), with my partner for 45 years and married for 17. We live in the country in a beautiful part of Northern California but it can be isolating, particularly for gay men. I am hopeful that this will allow me to make new friendships. I'm a pretty good listener and have seen a lot in my life so feel free to reach out if you want to chat.
