I have children. I have four grandchildren with another on the way. I love spending time with my grandchildren. All of my grandchildren are sweet. One of my grandsons is about to be old enough to take the training wheel off of his bike. One of my grandsons is a wild one. My grandchildren love getting out and about and meeting new people. I am retired. I've mostly relaxed while I've been retired. I'm now starting to think about new hobbies and getting into traveling. I hate boredom. I usually stay local. I like hiking.
I have a red bike. I compete individually in bike races. I started bike racing as a teenager. I teach bike riding. I bike every day. I work out my legs. I have biked the Venice Boardwalk. I work in a cafe as a waiter. I have an upcoming bike racing competition. My grandad is retired. I like to walk on vacations. I like good food and architecture.
Do you bike to work at the cafe? Yes, most days I do.  If it's raining I don't because I need to not be sopping wet at work.  But otherwise that's my preferred way to commute. That's good. It's an environmentally friendly way to get to work! I'm glad you're reducing your carbon footprint. Yes, I definitely try to do that.  It can be a faster way to travel anyway.  Traffic around here can be pretty gnarly. Certainly. Sounds like you're pretty comfortable being on a bike, too, so that must be a plus. Yes, for sure.  Say, before you said that you were retired.  What did you used to do for a living? I was a petroleum engineer, ironically. I'd go out to oil fields and offshore rigs and help design the processes used for petroleum extraction. Oh wow, that's amazing.  Did you have a degree in petroleum engineering?  Or chemical engineering? I got a degree in chemical engineering. Many schools didn't offer degrees in petroleum engineering back in the day. Interesting.  I remember seeing a list of degrees and what their starting salaries were and chemical engineering was very high on the list.  I remember that because my uncle was a chemical engineer and he seemed to get paid pretty well. Yep, it's a very high-paying job. The oil & gas industry is pretty far away from God's work, but it is lucrative, That's what my uncle used to say, too!  They don't teach you to say that in school, do they?
