“I expect pushback when talking to some people outside of the Lifestyle, but the older I get, the less I care. There’s a stark difference between explaining my activities to somebody who is curious, and defending them, which I have no obligation to do.

It took me years to get to this point, but I’m proud to be here, and within reason, I’ll continue to push the envelope, and live as I see fit.”
