Date a soulmate from California, United States. I’ve been a very lucky guy so far. I have five children who make me very proud, I have twelve grandchildren who can always make me laugh, and for 42 years -- until she passed away in 2003 -- I had a wonderful wife, companion and friend. It was as good a family life as anyone could ask for. I also had a career in the computer industry that I found very satisfying and now that I’m semi-retired, I have the time to relax and enjoy myself with family, friends and a couple of projects I’ve chosen to take on. So during the week, I work part-time because I like it and I’d miss it if I didn’t do it. At the weekend I visit cafes, read the Sunday papers and watch a ball game sometimes too. And I’ve recently started working out again. I ran a couple of marathons in 2003 and I’d like to run the LA marathon next year. Altogether then, I think I’ve got a pretty good life -- and I’m very grateful for it -- but if it’s taught me anything, I’ve learned that the best things are even better when shared.
And that’s where you come in, I hope. I have strong values, plenty of integrity and a pretty big playful streak too, and I think I’d get on best with someone who shared those. That could be where the similarities end though. You don’t have to be able to program a computer, sit through a football game or read adventure novels. But it would be nice if you liked dancing (I’m taking ballroom dancing lessons), attend church (I do), and be interested in camping trips, cruises or foreign travel (I’ve never done that). I don't know if love can come along again but I know I would be twice blessed if it did. If that could be you, say hello.
Meet someone special from California, United States. I grew up in the Midwest in a loving home - Educated @ Easter Il. Univ with a degree in Education and a masters in guidance and counseling. Credentialed and long time secondary education administrator. Retired and enjoying the next half of life. Occasional handy man projects and working with wood keep me occupied. I have traveled a bit but may enjoy a few more trips.
A loving family has been a blessing in my life and I enjoyed a long and happy life with my late wife. After 3 1/2 years of recovery and dating, I have come to the point in my life that I am looking for a partner, someone to fall for and spend the rest of life loving and having a fantastic time.
I'm not bad at barbecuing and have some cooking skills but would appreciate someone who would enjoy sharing the kitchen. My specialty - I'll grow the tomatoes and cucumbers for the salad and throw the steaks on the grill and you??
For a change, I enjoy going up to the cabin in Crestline, It's a little primitive but no better time sitting on the front porch with a glass of wine watching the birds and enjoying conversation, that is unless of course it gets too cold and a warm fire place and a cozy couch invites a little old fashioned cuddling.
A brisk walk in the morning is invigorating; Reading is a special past time and I enjoy volunteering time. At the end of the day I enjoy a glass or two of wine sitting on my patio and conversing with passing neighbors, family and friends. I'm just a regular kind of guy with a great big heart looking for the right gal.
I am up for almost any activity except going hunting with Dick Cheney
