For sure he’s old. How old? More than the allotted three score years and ten, which is far more years than he expected. OldMack has led what might be called an interesting life. Or it might be called by some as an insane life.
Before he became OldMack the story teller, he pursued occupations and sports which are considered by some as risky. He was, of course, aware of the element of danger in those pursuits, but he took precautions to minimize the real danger and maximize his pleasure. Of course he ran the risk of becoming addicted to the Adrenalin rush associated with most of the endeavors which gave him pleasure, such as flying, diving and mountaineering.
Now that he’s retired from those activities, he remains a spectator in the comfort of his home. And he reminisces about some of his adventures, reliving them so to speak, by writing them down as best he can.
OldMack has a wife, three dogs and a cat to keep him company and entertained. So some of his tales are about them. How he got his pets, gave them names, and their entertaining behavior will become stories in time.
