I retired from NCSU and am now working at a well known ornamental nursery in Raleigh. I am physically fit, and working out almost every day is a big part of my life. Bike trips are a favorite, and I ride about 40 miles each Sunday. I believe you'll find I'm well rounded as a person, as I also enjoy museums, plays, the symphony and seeing the sights around town the State and beyond. I enjoy listening to music, but I confess to having two left feet as far as dancing is concerned. I listen most to oldies and enjoy many other music types. I don't like rap or hard rock. I'm most comfortable in jeans, but know how to dress up for any occasion. I am not into the bar scene. I enjoy pets and currently have a cat, Katie who brightens my every day.

I would like to do whatever my date would prefer or feel most comfortable with. Obviously something in a nice, safe public place. Maybe dinner or a movie later. A museum would be great for a daytime outing. Certainly a place where we could talk and get to know each other and see what we have in common.
