| 60...it's the new 40 |
| about myself: |
It's transition time again....how many times in one lifetime do we ask the question, "What do I want to be when I grow up?" I have 'been' many things, so maybe it's the 'growing up' that is the challenge. Life is an adventure; and it's the little things---often in nature---that capture my attention. I carry a camera, and a short walk can take hours (as can meeting for a cup of coffee :-)
I'm newly retired (spring '09). You can either see this as a negative or an opportunity to spend time with a happy available woman. I'm looking for a man who is strong yet sensitive to my more delicate bits.
Open, honest, curious, transparent, non judgmental, slow to anger, quick to forgive, and my glass is half full.
