Date men and women from California, United States. From my screen name you've probably figured out that I'm a car guy. You're right! I've been an owner, driver, engineer and program manager for a variety of motorsports racing programs. I took an early retirement pakage a few years ago, and now my former employer sends me a check every month not to come to work. Isn't that Great!!! Do I miss it? Yes and No! The challange, excitement, exotic places, and the good people made the whole experience very intoxicating, but, to be out of the office politics, empire building, and those endless meetings is a big plus. My current involvement in the sport is at a hobby level with my brother. On occasion, I have been asked to do some consulting, and this has been rewarding as it has given me the opportunity to give something back.
With retirement I've started a new chapter in my life. Moved back to California(thank God I don't have to shovel any more snow), and looking forward to "my time" and finding the right person to share it with. In the past, I've traveled extensively, and been to many places, but, unfortunately, rarely had, or took the time, to "smell the roses". Hopefuly, there'll be an opportunity now to revisit and explore some of those wonders. I haven't been to Australia or New Zealand yet, but they're definately on my "A" to "Z" list.
When not traveling, I can be happy doing a lot of things. Reading a book, or watching an old movie can be relaxing. Good conversation, with someone special, is something I look forward to. Walking down the beach, with the sand between our toes, going on a picnic, or just cuddling on the couch would fit the " it doesn't get any better than this" catagory. Affection, public or private is essential, and to touch or be touched is a great way to communicate.
