Date men and women from Ojai, United States. “Filling in the blanks” was relatively easy; writing an “essay about me”, not so much so. I continue to be part of the job market, have a job I love, and the most beautiful commute in the world – from Ojai, via highway 150 and beautiful Lake Casitas to Carpinteria, and not one single mile of it on the freeway. What could be better? The only thing I can think of would be actually stopping at the Lake, putting my boat in the water and spending the day fishing.
Yes, I absolutely love to fish. The biggest drawback is that I totally stink at backing that trailer into the water. Somehow, my brain just refuses to imprint itself with the fact that youРІР‚в„ўve got to turn the wheels in the opposite direction that you want to the trailer to go. Totally counter-intuitive to me, but some people obviously have it down pat. You get extra points if you know the routine! While on the subject of fishing, I do think Match.com needs to revise their list of interests though to show fishinghunting as two separate activities. IРІР‚в„ўve nothing against it, but IРІР‚в„ўm definitely not a hunter.
I also really enjoy cooking and have a wonderful collection of cookbooks as a result. When I got married and was fretting about not really knowing much about cooking, my Mother’s response was that anyone who can read, can cook. In a way, she’s absolutely right, but she neglected to mention that to be really good, you’ve got to enjoy the process as well. Fortunately, I love to be creative in the kitchen. It’s an activity whose results can be shared with those you care about and, if the end result turns out well, everyone’s a winner. I don’t watch a lot of television, but the Cooking Channel is definitely programmed into my favorites on the remote control. So, if you enjoy being the sous chef (read, “assistant”), you get extra points as well!
Another of my creative outlets is gourd art. That sounds pretty bizarre to those who arenРІР‚в„ўt familiar with it, so IРІР‚в„ўve posted a picture here also of one of my finished pieces. The wonderful thing about hard-shelled gourds (which are not the decorative type you see at Thanksgiving) is that when dried, they are very wood-like and so lend themselves to being carved, dyed, woodburned and embellished with all sorts of things. OneРІР‚в„ўs imagination and ingenuity are the only limitations. The gourd shown here was carved, woodburned, painted and embellished so I used many of the techniques available in creating it.
I’m a big Laker fan and am still licking the wounds from their loss in the play offs – to say nothing of the fact that they traded one of my favorite players, Derek Fisher, to the Thunder. For that reason, I rooted for the Thunder during the finals but that was not to be either. There’s always next season –right? Go Lakers! Go Fish!
In addition to fishing, I also enjoy camping, hiking, reading, gardening and weekend drives to new places. IРІР‚в„ўm looking for someone to share some of these activities. If youРІР‚в„ўre able to laugh at yourself as easily as you do at other things, you also get extra points. ItРІР‚в„ўs perfectly okay to be serious, but taking oneself too seriously can be off-putting. I am a spontaneous, affectionate and relatively outgoing person who loves to laugh and share with those I care about. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile.

Date people from Ojai, United States. I am easy to get along with and really enjoy everyone no matter what! I love to seek the fine points of everyone ! I will do almost anything! I enjoy the out doors best. I would rather be outside then inside, but of course I still have the desk responsibility. I strive to keep active while I still can! I am open for almost anything! I believe a relaytionship should be give and take. I do not want to meet anyone that is not a happy person! Life is too short! Experiences are the musts in life. When I am old then I can settle to be sedentary! I love to travel and have many great friends! I go to the gym almost everyday as I believe that to enjoy life to the max, I must take care of myself. My children live in New York and Colorado.
I am looking for someone that has a positive outlook on life and wants to explore the world with me and to just simply enjoy life and what it brings. I will not settle for less. I try to remove myself from those that bring me down. I have many hobbies and will not put up with anyone who can ever say that they are bored. There's not much more to say! My idea of church is a nice hike into the back country.
Meet a soulmate from Ojai, United States. Well, I decided it is time to be adventurous and thry this--- not something I would normally do, but tired of enjoying life without that special somebody---

Most days spent working, hanging out with best friends, enjoy cooking, traveling lots, music (especially country, but love most music), and lots of wine, if you find this interesting, we possibly could meet and see how things evolve over a glass of wine, or just a walk outside.
