Welcome John. I'm a 71 year old fellow enjoying it here. You and I are a good age. What could be more fun than just doing what we want to do. The people here are great with a lot of good help and ideas. My main thing right now is hand quilting. And, it's fine to be the minority. The women treat us very nice, with a few lame "man jokes" once in a while. It's good fun, and I've certainly learned a lot.
