I am an 81-year-old piece of flatulence who lost his wife (of 46 years) 7 years ago. I am finally ready to start meeting new women. However, departing from the truth is, to me, serious enough to cause me to lose all interest in that woman. Furthermore, before meeting IRL, I will run a background check on you. 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. Finally, as a matter of principle, I don't date anyone younger than my oldest child (born 1972).
