Dukemcnasty, 75

The prodigal son has returned to Cali from TX. I am talking slower and my IQ dropped. That is not true I enjoyed the 10 months in TX.

I am putting Humpty Dumpty back together after almost 3 yrs of deployment, and trying to understand dating again. After 40 years of dedicated service to God & country, I thought that the military would be happy to see me ride off into the sunset. I figured that they wouldn't even trust me with the TV remote control, let alone require me to stay 2 more years.

I have been here on my ranch near South Lake Tahoe for 15 yrs in the Sierra Nevada Foothills; I've gone from City Slicker to Hillbilly, raising country boys & chickens.

I've been on active duty for the past 8 years. Prior to that, I was working for the El Dorado County Sheriff's Dept for 5 years. I got an offer to work for a Counterdrug Task Force & took a leave of absence. I never did like going to jail every night anyway.

I attended the Sergeants Major Academy in El Paso for the past 11 months. I finished my BS degree and I'm half way complete with my Masters. You probably thought that I had a degree in BS already.

Don't go changing trying to please me, I love you just the way you are, and then you may not like you.
