Date single man from California, United States. Hello. I'm a naturally happy & optimistic soul; always good natured. Love to make breakfast! Love the Stanford area. Everything is new to me; been hiking & biking to learn the area. Love the weather! Spent the last 25 years in FL & think SF is heaven!
I don’t smoke, except when I get really, really hot.
I don’t drink; except for the occasional jug of wine with the occasional pizza or lasagna. The occasions might occur daily. And yes; daily is an occasion.
I was born English, Irish, German and American Indian (Cherokee). That's quit a mix isn't it?
But am now Agnostic. I know it doesn't make sense, but then again, neither do I. Agnostic is greek, and means without knowledge. Do you see how nicely this all fits together?
My confused ethnicity could explain my constant state of confusion; but it refuses to. You could talk to my shrink; but she's a fictional creation too.
I'm not into drugs (couldn't fit); nor do I use them.
I like folk songs e.g., Simon & Garfunkel, Diamond, Seeger, Peter, Paul & Mary. Anything with slow lyrics; gives me half a chance to understand what's being said.
I like movies & books with a good positive theme, e.g., Mouse Hunt, The Notebook, The Abyss, Cider House Rules, Alien, The Thing and Sweet Home Alabama. I'm a big baby at movies; I cry at the mushy stuff and scream at the scary stuff. I do! It's embarrassing!
It even embarrasses me!
I think this country has become a police state; one in which everyone but the judges and police should be afraid.
I think offensive acts of war are just that, offensive acts of war; and I’m against them.
I think corporations control our state and federal legislators. I believe the only way to regain control of our legislative process is through state & federal constitutional amendments limiting all political bribes donations to voters.
I like happy, good natured, living human people. Who have both a sense of humor and humility. Though this does not mean I reject those that are unhappy, bad natured, dead and or alien (of either humanistic or animalistic persuasion).
I give all comers equal opportunity based upon both merit and my particularly twisted and bent persuasions and needs of the moment.
I like people who are curious by nature, and those who are curious un-naturally too (remember the bent and twisted above).
I like people who are slow to criticize or speak in anger. This gives me sufficient time to either make up some appropriate reply and or excuse; or to run.
I like to walk, bike, explore, canoe and sail; anything dealing with the outdoors. This is especially true when on TV.
I love nature; remember the bent & twisted above.
I want to build a cabin, and a canoe and boat. This is for real, as opposed to the rest of my world, which is make believe.
Regarding the cabin; I mean the whole thing. I want to:
-- cut the timber,
-- saw the timber into lumber,
-- construct a complete house from wood. Complete meaning:
-- solid wood exterior walls,
-- floor joists & ceiling rafters,
-- flooring, etc.
For real. Honest!
I've traveled to Peru to trek Cordillera Blanca & Huayhuash. Average altitude approximately 15,000 feet with high altitude of approximately 20,000 feet. The most rugged and beautiful mountains in the world.
I've traveled to Nepal 4 times, to climb Annapurna Himalaya (twice), Makalu Himalaya, and Manaslu Himalaya. Wonderful country and people.
I've traveled to Africa and summitted Mt. Kilimanjaro, both Gilman's Point and Uhurro Peak. Also explored Rift Valley near the volcano Mt. Olyidonya. Wonderful experience, country and people. The Tanzanians I met had the best sense of humor in the world.
I like to camp out.
I love to make breakfast.
I like sleeping under the trees and stars; it's really magical.
I love to bike; but do so slowly.
In fact, I do everything slowly; but I really enjoy it!
If you're still with me after all this, I need a job! I'm a accountant with 30 years exp. in tax & accounting.
