Dear Steven,

Since I am a pushover for a younger member of the opposite sex especially one with an I.Q.,  I decided to write even though your mother has forewarned you.

I don't know what you are looking for in a penpal besides intelligence but I am looking for some one to connect with.  I would like to find one person during my life time that I can really talk to about anything and everything and not worry about it coming back to haunt me.  Besides intelligence, I admire honesty and expect it from every one that I have a relationship with on any level.  I dislike limits that people put on themselves by having closed minds.  I would not want to miss the chance of meeting the friend I have been seeking because he is a year younger than me.  When is your birthday, any way?   

What kind of movies do you like?  I like a lot of the same things that you do.  However, I am in the novice category when it comes to chess and my tennis stinks even though I live in AZ.  I am the manager of a home for the elderly.  I find my job stressful but rewarding.  I see life come full circle and it has helped to enrich the way I live and to place value on some things that I might have overlooked otherwise.  I treat every day as a learning experience and try to use what I learn to help myself and others.  The only real problem I have is that no one wants my advice...Ha

Well Steven, writing comes very easy to me and I have a tendency to go on and on sometimes but since you are an accountant, if you can allocate the time, we will give this pen pal experience a try.  I will close now but I will be looking forward to hearing from you and I want you to know that I didn't even use spell check when I wrote this...Ha........Goodnight....Janet
