My self-summary
Does this feel like a trip down the yellow brick road with slightly different characters? I can't take these rating systems or the questions very seriously. It might not be what we look like on the pages of this site that makes a good connection.
I'm excited by much that life has to offer.( I'm trying not to say 'passionate about" a phrase so over used ) I'm former professor and business owner looking to meet an intelligent, independent minded woman with whom to share some common interests.I'm Very athletic. and active in many sports. I accept others as they are and find them most interesting when they behave as they wish and not act the way others expect to act.
When it comes down to the final analysis. Atitude is everything.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm enjoying my life. How can you not? I like my life and not looking to change it, just looking to add to it. My children are grown and I've successfully managed my career. Now it's my turn to enjoy the rest of my life. There is so much to do that I won't start listing everything here. Let's wait until we talk to find the other things we can enjoy together. I have no set agenda. Open to new ideas and adventures. Hope to buy a second home near the water. Only question is , Where?
I’m really good at
: I was very good at my profession and enjoyed teaching and lecturing. Do well in many sports, instructed and coached some. Good at dancing ballroom,latin, swing etc, but do it for enjoyment and entertainment not competition.
I can fix about anything except a broken heart.
I'm very good at cooking and baking healthful and tasty foods. Everyone wants to eat at my house.
I have to say, I'm very selective about eating out.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Many. Does it matter which ones?
The six things I could never do without
1.My 4 children. who are The best part of my life
2.Does
3.this
4.really
5.matter
6.to you?
7. Maybe You; but this can can become number 2.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
How fortunate I've been and how good my life has been.
Gratitude.
How it's impossible to be bored.
Dubito ergo sum.
On a typical Friday night I am
At the ballroom, or salsa, latin, swing dancing.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
If I told, it wouldn't be private anymore. Would it?
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 45–99
  • Near me
  • Who are single
  • For new friends, long-term dating, activity partners
You should message me if
If you have it all together.
If you want to talk
If you want to know more
What I am not:
Not looking to be in a rush
Not looking for some one to lean on nor to be leaned on: emotionally or financially
Not looking for a conquest
Not looking for some one who needs several drinks every night to 'relax'
Wish I didn't have to list these, but experience teaches.
POSTSCRIPT: Now that I've taken this trip down the 'Yellow Brick Road' I'm expecting to wake up with a bump on my head.
