| | About Me |
| | As I listed above, I am not looking at this time. I have a son at home and he is THE priority in my life. Being a parent oft times means putting your own personal wants and desires on hold in the great game of life. There is nothing I can imagine that would dissolve the moral imperatives I feel for stability in my son's life. His mother is still a very real presense in his life, asking him to even consider divided loyalties is a road I will not travel.
I found this site several years ago and have been a lurker ever since. Reading the forums has been a guilty pleasure. There are many interesting folk here, some looking, some not; I thought that I might have something to contribute.
If you have read this far, the following is solely for the purpose of giving the reader an idea of who I am, what pulls my plow, and to provide harmony with my posts.
A woman I find appealing is not one who walks behind, as if inferior or subordinate; nor should she walk ahead, in superiority or dominion; rather, I desire a woman who would walk by my side as an equal, one whom I could support in her times of need as she would support me: a helpmeet, a Proverbs 31 type of woman. Above all else, I desire a lover.
I don't really understand the designation of "christian - other," either you are or you are not. As for me, I am. It does not mean I'm perfect or better than you; rather, it means I have a relationship with the Father through His Son, I'm imperfect and no different than you. I am a fairly uniformly conservative person - my beliefs and lifestyle (spiritual, material, and social aspects) complement each other, rather than contradict. For those of you who see that as a negative, I say, "fair thee well." For the rest, I know you understand. Most Sundays I will be found in church (sitting in the back) not because I must but because I find comfort there. I am moderately active with my involvement, although it does vary from year to year, season to season. Along with no smoking or drug use and being physically active I can not see my self interested in a woman who does not share a commonality of faith and worship: If a couple doesn't have a common cornerstone, the foundation is flawed. It's that "Unequally Yoked" Thing.
I believe in Re-Use, Re-Build, and Re-Cycle.
Raised as a lad from Maine down to Miami, spent my formative years mostly in Miami, Fla and near Washington, DC. Have lived in Lexington, KY and several years in Seattle, WA. The last 20+ years have been here on the Left Slope of the Rockies. I guess I've just grown tired of the left slope area physically and mentality; I want to go home to Dixie. Ah, Someday. It gets ever closer with each tick of the clock.
I described myself as athletic, although I will be the first to admit to carrying more weight than I like - and I am, and always will be, working on that issue. As a youth and young adult I participated in gymnastics (can still put my palms flat on the floor and do an L-seat) and was a long distance runner. Back in my early 20's I injured my knees and a few years back the doc made it clear that were I to continue to run I would be up a crick without a paddle. So I bike, go to the gym, garden, walk, stay fairly active; but, I still have the mind set and appetite of a twenty something when it comes to food. I love to cook and am slowly learning how to eat like a man on the down hill slope of 50. Bummer! I am at the gym 3x/week and on my bike 2-3x/week. I use to inline skate and would like to get back in to skating again.
While I am in great shape, can still work hard and play well, there are days that I feel like I've been rode hard and put away wet: my knees and hips ache, my back is sore, and dog gone it if my collar bone don't feel like it was screwed in wrong. What gives. I'm not one to be described as all hat and no cattle, but it seems like the livestock gets harder to handle every year.
I believe our inner self shows up in a myriad of ways: what we do, who we hang with, what we read, etc. As for the reading part my subscription list runs the gamut from cooking (Cook's Illustrated), to woodcraft and building (Fine Home Building, Woodsmith), to financial (Forbes), and others (Popular Science and Mechanics, and PCMag). I also have to include the Bible, although I do not spend as much time in it as I should. I spend more time reading about God and His word than reading the actual Word.
One thing I am not is a big city person. Been there, done it, got the over-priced t-shirt back in my youth; now days, big cities are kind of like going to a zoo - fun to visit, gawk, point fingers and take lots of photos, but I'm only going to be comfortable hanging my hat someplace with stars and the smell and availability of good dirt.
While I am currently here in the great frozen north, I expect that somewhere around 2012 - 2013 I will be heading back to Dixie; say, around SW Virginia in the Blacksburg area, if I have my druthers. Lord willing, it will be a successful transition.

Artist: Krauss Alison
Song: A Living Prayer
Album: Lonely Runs Both Ways
Alison Krauss CDs
In this world I walk alone
With no place to call my home
But there's one who holds my hand
The rugged road through barren lands
The way is dark, the road is steep
But He's become my eyes to see
The strength to climb, my griefs to bear
The Savior lives inside me there
In Your love I find release
A haven from my unbelief
Take my life and let me be
A living prayer, my God to Thee
In these trials of life I find
Another voice inside my mind
He comforts me and bids me live
Inside the love the Father gives
In Your love I find release
A haven from my unbelief
Take my life and let me be
A living prayer, my God to Thee
Take my life and let me be
A living prayer, my God to Thee |

UPDATE:
I've been meaning to update this space for a while, and an on-line friend and conscience pointed out recently that I may be sending a mixed signal, considering that I have made it clear that I am on PoF for the social venture and not for dating. With that in mind, let me say this LOUD and CLEAR again: I am not here for a date, nor to meet anyone in any way that could be considered romantic or sexual. What follows is a short paragraph of me projecting into the future to a time in which I deem myself free to follow my heart.
It's been a quarter century since this was even an issue. Change Happens; what I thought of as a good "date" back then is probably inadvisable or impractical now. I suppose it would depend on the woman. First and foremost, any first meet or first date would have to be someplace / something comfortable for the woman. I use to like activities, but now maybe something more sedate might be in order. My only request is that it not be someplace noisy - I would like to be able to hear you and communicate without shouting. |
