Season 57

I have grown up and  lived in South Africa all of my life. I am now 57 years old. I struggle a lot with that fact as iI still identify as a 37 year old, Im not sure identifying with a different age is going to make me as strong as a younger person though.

I studied law at University, but currently import watches glasses frames  and Corporate gifts into South Africa.  I have always worked in the same business which I started whilst still in University and as it has always looked after me I have a lot to be greatful for.  

As South Africans our best sport is Rugby having won 4 of the last 8 world cups. We made the last cricket T20 final, but as yet have never won a cricket world cup. Our soccer team has been pathetic for years, but we did make the last 4 of the african cup of nations last season which is our best performance in a long time. I do enjoy European/English  football though and have been a lifelong Liverpool fan. I also have a soft spot for Barcelona in La Liga.

I enjoy movies and series and my favourite director is Quentin Tarintino.

I have played online games for many years and really enjoy them. I play MSWL united and had a good run in the old MSWL .SESL is the only Olmec game I play at the moment.

Besides these leagues I am also a big fan of the soccer prediction games like Fantasy football  and Superbru. I thus run a mini prediction league on the message board in SESL. 

I had a brilliant run in Fantasy football 2 years ago finishing in the top 1000 out of 9 million so I also won several of my mini leagues as well. My kids also enjoy fantasy so it is a great family bonding activity. As you can imagine a lot of pressure to majke sure I beat them every year.

I  have 3 children Alexia(23),Mischa(19) and Ethan (17)  ..My two oldest kids just move down to Cape Town which is our coastal city. luckily I still get down there for business every few months but I do miss having them close.  Alex studied film and is currently working as a graphic designer and moonlighting with editing whilst Mischa is going to study sound engineering next year. Ethan is in his second last year at school. . He plays goalie in the school team. feels weird that all 3 of my kids are almost adults.

My kids and I have a lot in common which is very fortunate as it makes family time great.I still have a very good relationship with my ex which is important as we do have the 3 kids together. I took Alex with on 1 of my trips to Europe last year which she really enjoyed and was a great bonding time for us.

This English soccer season which will be Liverpools first without Jurgen Klopp is very scary ,but as a fan we always live in hope.

For recreation I play bridge,read, and hang out with friends and my kids. For exercise I tend to run in the mornings.
I am very blessed in that I lead a very good life and I try to be appreciative .
