I hold dearly close friends, they are part of who you are. True they have their quirks, but I have learned to accept them, as they have mine I'm sure. I tend to be a "sheepdog" personality. I'm semi reserved, but a people person. Certainly do enjoy bantering back and forth with my customers (I drive public transportation). They look forward to it. Perhaps it's my overly zealeous at times sense of humor. Twist the meanings a tad and watch the mind whirr. You will need a sense of humor. Goals. Hope to retire someday and enjoy however long is left with someone who enjoys my company. I'm not in that deep of a rut that I can not broaden my horizons with new interests. Pretty much sure I don't like watching sports, Wheel of fortune, Jeopardy, actually most game shows, country music, rap, okra,and well ... I don't have time to think that hard. I do like friends, hugs, companionship,at least some shared interests, cooking supper together, coming home to "surprise supper is ready" now and then, BBQing, walks, bicycling, kayaking, motorcycling, shooting, cross country skiing (a small country please), and... Would be nice to share with nice lady! PS The "Smoke occasionally" is a cigar outdoors now and then. I don't smoke in my house and prefer that others do not. I have no problem if you partake, been there, it's a strong urge. Takes the stress out of this!

Coffee or a meal somewhere we can talk. Perhaps a kayak on one of the small lakes.
