Mike_from_California

Greetings fellow Earthlings!
I am Mike_from_California, and I turned 71(!) in 2022. I retired about 3 years ago. I live in the Bay Area, about 45 minutes East of San Francisco.
The weather is usually nice, sunny, and I enjoy that. Unfortunately, California has earthquakes, though the very big ones are rare. However, even small ones can freak many people out. I am OK with them, however.
San Francisco is the hub of a nearly constant influx of talented and exciting musicians. So the concert scene and club performances are great, unbeatable. Of course, things stopped with the pandemic. Only now are clubs and venues re-opening.
My hobbies are myriad: I write fiction, (on 3rd novel…), I write music, record and perform when I can. I play guitar, keys, and sing. I read everyday, exercise when I can and eat well.
I cook every day and collect recipes. If you have a good one, please send it over! If I get enough, I can put together an international postcard cookbook!
Ideas for your postcard:
Nature scenes from your country
City scenes, night scenes, from your country.
Unusual animals, pets
Recipes and/or pictures of prepared dishes
Musicians from the 50s to now, music related
Abstract, impressionist art, avant-garde, strange pictures, yes!
Any card will be cool; these are just ideas for you.
I also love stamps and appreciate different ones.

I am not a fan of multi-view cards, if you have an option.
I look forward to getting your card!
I am glad to meet you!
