about jackadoo

My real name is Jay, I just like Jack better.

I am a single guy in my 50's, (haircutter guessed 40 last week, but she was looking for a good tip, which she got), who got downsized 5 yrs ago, and just trying to live off my IRA.  That is gettin tuffer. It's just me, my dog, my broken neck, and some outside critters, including the birds we feed.

I grew up (??) in this sleepy little town called Cary...3 schools, grades 1-8, the high school, and the black school (Kingswood). Us boys would walk the 2-3 miles home on the RR track, leaving pennies on the rail to get flattened, for us to pick up the next day. We hated the bus. 

I live in a condo now, near Lake Lynn (Raleigh).

I speak to, or see my 86 yr old Mom everyday. She is smarter than anyone I know. Her body is falling apart, but her mind is not. 

I've been divorced twice, both lasted over 10 years, and last summer, by mutual agreement, broke off an engagement. I have never been unfaithful in a relationship...that happened to me my first marriage, and I realize the pain that can cause. I have two great grown kids from ex #1.

I am just a normal guy,  who believes in the goodness of people.  And, I like people. Some would say I flirt, I'd rather think of it as being nice...male or female. Does not cost anything to be nice.

Historians and I go back a long way on wral pre-golo. We got off to a ruff start, but we are fine now.

Now tell me, isn't my Jackie dog cute? She's mostly a Jack Russell, squirrel hunting fool. She loves everybody...except rodents. She keeps my crazy hours, and will gladly walk at 3-4 am, come back and snuggle...but I always get the rump!  Susan (Ward) met Jackie and I. She will tell you we are harmless. See ya later...jack.

Hey,just to let you know I'm praying for your mom and keeping you and all your family in my prayers.

I won't be able to get to Blincos till kinda late. Keep the crowd there as long as you can, so I can meet everyone.

Hey Jack, Again, thanks!! I am looking at hotels in the area too...my Mother has that dayum slow dial-up but I am getting there. I have that lifelong friend that lives by Lake Wheeler, and I could stay there for sure, but it is a pretty good cab ride.
