Date men and women from United States / Alaska / Palmer, 45 year old

Date men and women from Palmer, United States. ************************EMERGENCY ORDER: AS OF FEBRUARY 10th, 2012 I'M PURSUING A RELATIONSHIP. SIMPLE COURTESY REMAINS AN ACCEPTABLE TRAIT????.****************************************
*********************************
Seeking "THE" woman to spend the remainder of my life with. Divorcing (unexpectedly) after 23.5 years of marriage. Have no experience with the dating scene-simply a down to earth guy who believes in one woman/one man with no funny stuff-companions for life!
I'm the father of two children, boys aged 17 & 19, as well as a grandfather. Depsite the failure of their parent's relationship they've grown to be fine young men!
I married fairly young (at 21) and due to work and outdoor pursuits I have no experience with the dating scene. I did have a few girlfriends but nothing that lasted long enough for me to become emotionally attached to anyone. My wife is the only woman who's ever been given my heart and soul.
I was raised Lutheran but attended many Catholic services, as a child, with friends. While deployed to the European Theatre I had an opprtunity to visit a number of old cathedrals-Majorca, Spain; Naples & Rome, Italy; and even the Vatican itself (was blessed by John Paul on Palm Sunday of 1989).
I've not been an active churchgoer since 2006 due to relocating for work and the increased obligation associated with the new assignments (need to improve the work/life balance).
I did spend 2.5 years as a Lay Minister during 2003-2006. If I learned nothing else from that experience it is that each of us is important and has a purpose for His master plan despite our individual past history's. My spiritual and religious activities have more or less evolved to an internalized practice. Each of us has the opportunity to support and improve the lives of folks we cross paths with on a daily basis, we simply need to be cognizant of that and willing to act.
Alaska became my home in June of 2008. It's been a lifelong dream to live here and I recognize that it has more to offer than any one person could hope to experience and explore in one lifetime. Consequently, I realize that at least half of my life is most likely behind me and I'm ready to light the fires and burn the tires on expanding those experiences.
The best reference I can provide for those interested in knowing who I am as a person would have to be the Rag Tag crew assembled for the mission in the movie Armageddon. My purpose isn't always clear to those around me, nor do I always get it right, but on the occassions that I do enjoy success, I do so immensley!
There is much more to say, but without specifically knowing my audience, I'm afraid it would become boring very quicky. If you're interested I would love to expand the conversation and learn about you as well.
