My hobbies are boating, fishing, trap and skeet shooting, golf, cooking, crosswords, and travel. I am about to retire and plan to do more of the above activities along with others I may discover. I do plan to spend more time visiting my kids and grandkids in Coral Springs Florida. My grandson and I will be building a treehouse in his back yard this Spring. I have a 44 foot power boat in Long Beach and a 100 Ton USCG Masters License so I plan to stay involved with boats in the future. I have a 'people' personality and make friends easily. I am an educated gentleman with manners and a good sense of humor. I enjoy talk radio, politics, and an occasional cigar. I am not politically correct. You will find I am a fun person with wit and charm. Your family, friends, and pets will like me. I really enjoy cooking (with meat), especially for two. I would love to make Sunday morning breakfast and do the LA Times crossword together. I have no police record and a high FICO score. Send me a note and let's see what happens. mark
P.S. I am also a yacht salesman so if you need a boat or have one to sell, I'm definately your man! (I know it's a cheap plug but I had to do it.)

The perfect first date includes a meeting at the foot of Seal Beach Pier and a stroll down Main Street to get acquainted. If the meeting goes well there are plenty of establishments on Main Street in which to continue the rendesvous. It is safe, romantic, and fun. (Be sure to bring a sweater.)
