Living the good life here in Olympia, Wa. I'm a 52 (53 next week : )) - SWM with a 14-year old girl that I have 50% of the time. Right now she is my entire life. Ok, her and our golden retrievers Sammie. lol Sammie is getting old - snores and has bad gas - but we love her!! And we have new golden puppy, Sunnie.

However, I'm ready for some female (adult) companionship to explore new places and just have fun with.

Who am I? Well, I've done just about everything, lol. Spent a year in Poland after the wall fell down. Have worked in hi-tech and lately for American Indian tribes.

I'm easy-going, like to travel, take my golden retrievers for a run on the beach or just browse through the books at Borders. And if the sun ever gets here (oh, is that the sun I see?) I like to hike on the beach in front of my little cabin (cute word for small old house) on Puget Sound.

Looking for someone that is interesting, fun, smart, good-looking (to me) and doesn't sweat the small stuff. I'm not a big believer in opposites attracting and staying together as I'm hoping to find a friend and lover (I promise to NEVER use the word “partner”).

I'm looking for a friend to talk openly and freely with and a soulmate who wants to grow old together exploring the world around us. Hope that's not too corny.

Being from the NW, is it treasonous to say I'm really really really really tired of the coffee dates where you sit at a little table surrounded by other coffee drinkers listening to the 2 pathetic single fishers?? LOL : )
