About Me

My photo
Wolf VanZandt
I am a retired rehabilitation specialist from the southeastern United States. I've traveled a lot in the southeast and have rarely left - one trip to Montana and four to Denver. I guess it was destined that I end up in Denver. I live with my adopted son and his husband, his husband's cousin, a friend, three cats and a dog. I enjoy programming, lifelong learning, and community building.My lifelong learning is adventurous and this blog is an ongoing record of my adventures.
