John,
welcome to this group.  it has been a great source of support and 
learning for me!  and I think you'll find that so for you.

if you go to our division website
www.nfb-writers-division.org
you can read my biography there, as well as some others.

Christmas is very important in my year each year.  in part because of 
how I was raised, but since becoming a Christian it has taken on 
greater significance.
I have a dog I walk with who is not a guide dog, I am too weak yet to 
train with a guide dog.  I am recovering from congestive heart 
failure; and I'm pretty far ahead of the curve thank God.

I too am a conservative socially and politically.  that doesn't mean 
I am humorless.

I am looking forward to your perspective on our list John.
