Single 51 year old gentleman. Enjoy a happy and productive life. Have raised three perfectly normal children. Last one is now off to college. Leaves me lots of time to play in my sandbox (the office) and out of the sandbox (the rest of the world). I have fun on a daily basis. Would enjoy finding that one special lady in life to join me in the pursuit of the perfect happily ever after relationship.

Running a business and thoroughly enjoying my time doing that. Spoiling my adopted dog. Trying to keep tabs on my children and what's going on in their life. Staying active, healthy and in shape.

Being creative. Good at communicating in all different manners. Working with numbers. Playing any type of card, board or other competitive games. Making people smile, laugh and feel like they are special - which we all are in some form or another.

Nice blue eyes. Positive attitude. Confident, intelligent and articulate. Playful and entertaining. Not afraid to just get up and do things throwing caution to the wind. We only live once.

Read a wide variety of books on my kindle. Enjoy art and culture, the Portland Art Museum, galleries, museums. Enjoy most foods. Like to cook and would enjoy someone to do that with. Like to watch the food channel, monthly subscriber to their magazine as well. Can listen to any music. Enjoy live shows - concerts, plays, etc.

My children.
My trusty side kick dog.
My morning cup of coffee.
A good, long hot shower (at least daily).
My blackberry - which I do know how to turn off often.
Laughter and fun (are those two or one?).

If you count each kid and the fun...there's more than six there but who's counting.

Finding someone special to live the happily ever after dream with.

Sitting on my deck enjoying the view of the west hills of Portland and a glass of wine.

.....I'm not admiting anything until we are in private and I know you better.

You are physically fit, intelligent, confident and most importantly you have the time, energy and desire to have a long term relationship with a nice gentleman. I'm not into playing games, definitely not a serial dater and only have enough time in life to devote to one nice lady.
