I am an 81-year-old fart who lost his wife (of 46 years) 7 years ago. I am finally ready to start meeting new women. For most of my career I was a software engineer. I have also dabbled in other professions, such as law enforcement {particularly crash investigation) and teaching college. My primary hobby is landscape photography. I show some of my pictures under Realms (FriendConnect and HobbyHut). My secondary hobby is reading. I like to read folklore, science fiction, earth science, math, and physics. (I am cursed with being a fast reader, so I like to read books that force me to think and, thus, slow down.) BTW, I am not interested in traveling and, thus, only interested in contacts in Colorado. FYI: I am strongly introverted and intuitive. To add insult to injury, it takes me a long time before I trust anybody. Fin ally, as a matter of principle, I don't date anyone younger than my oldest child (born 1972).
