Delphos Pen Pals - New Friends in United States

I come from a mostly eccentric, somewhat neurotic family where only a couple members have had sufficient social skills to live a normal life. Being the youngest, I've had to deal with that sort of thing my whole life, and as a result I've managed to learn some measure of such skills as a victim to their lacking. I'm actually a retired military reservist and almost a masters degree graduate in law. I've been a trucker, a baker, and a corrections officer—yet I'm quite pedant. I'm very law abiding, against drugs, manage my money smartly, and am of a defensive mindset difficult to scam. I also am a prolific writer and a bit of a grammar cop. I lean conservatively with an emphasis on self-reliance and accountability for what one says. I'm happily married and like to travel—even internationally. Although I'm basically happy, my life could be better with people I can trust who are clear thinkers, and have their emotions in check. No significant disabilities or health problems. I'm happiest alone, but haver plenty of confidence if needed to deal with a group. [Note: the field above will not allow me to state that I dislike TV.] Hobbies: raise chickens, world travel, build computers, beekeeping, gardening and fruit trees, cheap but smart living, and learning.

I am looking for a friend.

am simply seeking anyone who wishes to become friends.
