I retired early and am enjoying doing many things; org gardening, camping, canoeing, kayaking, reading, walking, volunteering and of course, family & friends. I'm liberal socially, religiously and politically but conservative with resources.

My self-summary explains what I'm doing. I like to learn new things about myself, explore limits and appreciate what I find and if I can't then learn why. I've been part of a men's group for 20 years trying to understand ourselves as men. We tried to express and talk about feelings 20 years ago and needed a printed list as we generally only listed a few. Hope we've improved. I volunteer at a coop bakery and a hospital regularly and others on a need basis. I go fishing with a friend or two regularly and don't care if we catch anything. Trying to maintain and improve relationships with family and friends. Have a 15 month old grandson in Seattle who is an amazing kid but so is his dad and mom.

I'm pretty good musically but for now just enjoying, not creating. I can make a great compost pile and can save water so that the water dept can't believe my usage. I can improvise with what I have or find. I seem to live on very little yet am happy, don't feel deprived or in need.

Don't have much gray hair or even much hair at all on top but look a few years younger than 64. I'm fairly short, barely 5'5'' and usually look happy.

I seldom remember books, shows or movies unless in converstion. Music can be very eclectic although I haven't learned to appreciate rap or much country. I enjoy almost all food but don't eat a lot of red meat.

Besides basics, I appreciate family and friends. I like flexibility to do impromptu things. I need to garden & compost, be outdoors, have fun, learn..sometimes don't follow the rules.

I'm not sure I spend a lot of time thinking of any one thing. I try to live in the moment. Used to think about all the injustices in the world but not as much now, just do what I can to help.

Lately at home on my computer, tv or reading, walking, biking and if friends are having a party or potluck..Sometimes with friends at a musical event, play or hanging out.

It's hard to pass by someone's trash to be, on the curb without looking for useful things for me or to give away.

You're interested in exploring. Haven't convinced myself I want to date again but do miss intimacy and sex.
