About Me:

Male, 43, Sausalito - CA, member since Jan 2008

Swampy is a single guy with two elderly "patients": an aunt who is 77 and a mother who is 71. Swampy manages both people, and as they are at least 5 hours away by plane, he hires various people to handle the day to day. Swampy is trying to keep them as healthy and as in... [More] dependent as possible.

Swampy is mostly free of personal heath problems, but being a guy he knows that health problems tend to creep up as you get older. We are, after all, creatures of biology. [Less]

Interests:

food, people, paleontology, mathematics, PUBLIC HEALTH

So sorry you're having a tough day. Make something sinful and decadent! I'm heading off for a week of vacation in a cabin in the woods or Northern Ontario. Unfortunately I will not be able to cook the gourmet treats I am used to. Hopefull we catch some good Walleye at least. Smile :)
