My favorite thing to do is ride my motorcycle. Of course, in the Pacific Northwest, that doesn't happen as often as I'd like, since I don't like riding in the rain, sleet, ice, or snow.

I enjoy reading, I like thrillers, mysteries, sometimes sappy stuff. On weekend mornings I like to sip coffee and read a good novel.

I try to keep myself in shape by working out on my bowflex several times a week. I eat mostly healthy foods, although that doesn't mean I don't enjoy a greasy Micky D's burger and fries every now & then! I also love to cook, but don't do so very often for myself.

I love watching movies, although I don't have time for it very often. I enjoy action flix; good martial arts movies are some of my favorites. Chuck Norris, Jet Li, etc. I also like plenty of other kinds, too. Comedy is always good, since I love to laugh. It's the secret to a long, happy life, you know (so I hear). My favorite comedy movies usually include Jim Carrey somewhere in them.

My dog is the most important person in my life (for now!). I've never been much for little dogs (too yappy), but that's what I ended up getting. She's a Miniature Pinscher. Tiny but mighty.

That's all I can think of to share, but if there's anything else you would like to know, please ask!

That would depend on the guy, and the weather. If you have a motorcycle then a bike ride and lunch or coffee along the way is a fun first date. If not, a walk, coffee, or lunch works well, too. Something where we can talk a bit, get to know each other.
