I got this wise quote from a OkCupid profile posting and just love it's truth...' To be related to any human being is to be both healed and hurt, both wounded and made whole. Our choice is not between whether we are healed or hurt,but rather to which of these of those always present realities we shall attend". .....I am into creativity and am open to new people, places, ideas, and experiences. My career in teaching, training, and developing educational programs has provided the rewarding opportunity to travel to many places in the US and overseas. Working for the Peace Corps and living for months in China, Russia, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary have left me simply more appreciative of love, life and spirit. Prior to my work overseas, I owned and directed an Indianapolis based educational consulting firm;, produced educational T,V< shows and taught at several universities in the fields of youth development and cultural diversity

Two important things about my life are that my son is certainly the wittiest and most special person ever and my cat BENNY IS THE GREATEST PET in this or any other world! I value education and adore teachers that have a passion for the profession and those they touch and influence.
Naturally, building a respect in friendship comes first, but
I hope to find a lovely “S” partner in love, light and life. An S woman is SAVVY, SINCERE, SENSUAL, a bit SASSY, STABLE, SEXY and SMART SMART SMART in ways that really inspire . . . She has SPIRITUAL intelligence that nurtures a love for growth, and wisdom that flows naturally. And throw in for that SPECIAL S woman a healthy passion for sweet joy, humor, and intimacy! Hey, And you think kissing is a lost art, but want that to change. I know you’re out there . .How ever ,! right now i would settle for a witty woman friend ,who does not throw large or sharp objects at me when I forgets she is right most of the time! OK!, OK,! All of the time!

Considering another short-term overseas job, hanging out with family and friends, writing, gardening, and enjoying the BEST CAT OF ALL TIME, BENNY! I am a basketball junkie,and like the beatles, and Buddhism
I am in transition after a period of blindness and am in transition now that my vision is restored. I am new to using a keyboard and computer, quite slow and prone to errors, OkCupid is not only good practice,and fun, but a good way to meet new people and get re educated to a messy, but wonderful world, Sight rocks,

I did win a kissing contest in college. My FRIENDS think I am witty, know that I will always do a cleanup after meals, and say that for a guy, I am intuitive and a very good listener. I am also quite the gardener and good at taking care of BENNY THE GREATEST CAT OF ALL TIME!...............and I am also fairly good, now that i can see at
DIVERSITY APPRECIATION and EDUCATION
DINING OUT and doing the dishes after dining in
PILLOW TALK, before and after[ Out of practice though ]
LITTLE KID STORYTELLIN'
INTELLIGENT DISCUSSION well semi intelligent discussion anyway
SEVERAL TYPES OF MASSAGE
HAND HOLDING on long, short or medium walks

They pretty much ignore me and focus on BENNY THE WONDERFUL AND AMAZING CAT, but if they get to know me at all, they usually notice my flexibility.
GREAT HOSTA PLANTS
DEVASTATING GOOD LOOKS and HUMBLENESS*
WIT and HUMOR
DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR
HIGH INTELLECT and INABILITY TO SPEL,

and passions with a like minded gentle man, Or, this silly sense of humor touches your funny bone in such a way that makes you think, FUN.,,,and you recognize that fun is a good thing,,And you like animals, and especially cats,
dogs , hamsters and enlightened bears
