Hi, in case you are wondering my username also reflects a hobby over the last few years. I always wanted a standard poodle, his name is Gunther and unbenounced to me it turned out that he comes from a strong hunting line and is crazy about retrieving and birds and I didn't have the heart to not let him live his passion. So we train to compete in hunt tests, he thinks he is a lab. He would love to be a hunting companion, but I have never hunted. Do you? We also train for obedience, agility and we have even done some musical freestyle and most importantly he is a well mannered house dog and a joy to be around I am very proud.

It seems most people's relationship to music is to know the name of the recording artist, the song title etc. For me I enjoy a variety of music and what I appreciate is how much my body wants to move to it. For example, Blues, country, big band and even salsa. I took ballroom dance lessons many years ago I'm very rusty, and would love to meet someone that would like to get back to or try dancing as well, just for the shear joy of it. What do you think? Sound like fun?

Getting older does have its benefits, I've learned not to sweat the small stuff, happiness is an inside job, straight communication can resolve anything, problems are just opportunities for growth and that compatability is just as, if not, more important than chemistry for a long term relationship to thrive. For me a relationship would be an expression of our partnership as well as our independent interests.

I know meeting over coffee is very safe especially if there is no connection. With summer approaching there are other things that would be just as safe but maybe more fun, such as, Saturday Market, concerts in the park, taking in the view at the Rose Garden, and even the Zoo. I'm sure there's more... and just as I wrote that Omsi, First Thursday and even people watching on the water front to name a few more. For me it isn't so much about what we do as it is having the time to chat and get to know each other.
