The short message is: I'm a nice guy with a touch of rogue. I want to blend our lives and share it all; and, there's a lot to share. :-)) AND, because we're not on a fixed schedule, we'll do a lot of playing and having fun. What more could you ask for? :-) Now, for the long version............ REMEMBER: To love someone is one thing ---- To be loved by someone is another thing --- But to be loved by the one you love is EVERYTHING! Hi, and thanks for stopping by. I am an active guy, both mentally & physically. I'm 70 going on 50. :-) I enjoy life quietly. I'm usually ready for most anything on the spur of the moment - nothing crazy, though. I define "crazy" as bungee jumping, sky diving and similar. I prefer adventures with my 2 feet on terra firma. But, I'm always open to listening. I am affectionate and an incurable romantic - so, you should be, too. I don't smoke, drink or do drugs. I prefer if you don't, either, but light drinking /smoking is fine. Also, I'm financially stable and emotionally available. I like flea markets, museums, weekend get-aways, camping is in a Holiday Inn (although, I did spend 10 years in my RV touring the U.S.), "thinking" board games, just learning to fish, and staying home, too, to enjoy my many hobbies and interests. I live on the water and am shopping around for a kayak. I respect all types of music, but am partial to Folk, Country, Classical, some Jazz & Blues, and Soft Rock. It's easier to say I'm not a fan of rap, heavy metal, loud rock. Oh, I exercise regularly - nothing fanatical; just enough to keep the joints limber and strength enough to carry my own groceries out of the supermarket. :-) The woman of my dreams is a sw-af, 5'3"ish to 5'8"ish, 50-55ish, slender, affectionate, romantic, minimal baggage and no drama. I'm having trouble uploading pics. In this pic I'm holding a magical shilalee. This particular shilalee is the very one which struck the Blarney Stone. As a result of that one strike, it gained its elfan qualities, which guarantees good health & happiness for its owner and those associated with him. Also, if by magic, when it touches the roots of special trees, those trees become the Keebler Trees from which the Keebler Elves create those tasty treats. It's a true miracle stick. Wanna hear about my bridge (and, no, it doesn't fit in a glass)? :-)) FIRST DATE: Coffee and/or a lite lunch at a cafe of restaurant. OR, an afternoon at Barnes & Noble. Oh, and the Shillala I'm holding has an interesting/fun story behind it. Barnes & Noble is a great place to tell it. :-))
