I try to get on the beach often. Dinner in candlelight is a must. I like dogs, horses and women that do. Not to much ruffles my feathers, more of a romantic than not. There's more....

I enjoy surf fishing. I love getting out there early at first light with a hot coffee watching the morning open up. Driving on the sand right up to the water cuts everything out...good therapy. Enjoy it so much fishing gets in the way at times. There is nothing better than fresh Pompano sauteed, grilled or smoked.

Dinner in candlelight is a must. Whither one on one or with friends, candlelight just naturally softens moods and topics which increases laughter. Fun...I enjoy it. Surely you like candlelight?

Not to much ruffles my feathers. Being from North Carolina I am more laid back than not. My music is also; Beach music (a Carolina genre), R&B, jazz, country, classical ....not to much I don't like.

I am more of an encourager than not. Tend to be a Mr. Fix it...want to help when and where I can. Once friends, there is not to much I won't do when needed. Yes, I'll be on your side... Loyalty is something that comes more natural than not.

I am fairly content and am accepting of others. Strong women are welcomed, you don't scare me, genuine sweetness is a absolute attraction. I am more of a realist than not..."it is what it is".

I checked smoking because I do not want to mislead. I smoke with smokers over beverages if they don't mind cigars. I am very paritcular about the aroma of my cigars smoking only the more pleasant smelling. I like a cigar while fishing at times. I don't smoke during the week and I can do without when needed.

I have a full head of white thick hair, more white than grey. It is what it is...

Want to learn Portuguese. Have gone to Brazil for vacation found it to be a beautiful language, e muita gente bonita.

I like dogs, horses and women that do. There is something about a softhearted woman. If there is room to care for an animal, surely there is patience enough for one more friend,

Home projects; gardening, landscaping, and plants keep my hands dirty...more great therapy. Responsibilities at home seem to keep me so busy I sound like a home body. Maybe so, but it is still fun to break away on occasion.

Day trips or short overnights to places off the beaten path such as National Parks, historic sights or just family visits...no phones, out of the routines, just new easy fun. There's a few more places I haven’t seen...

I have more pictures coming just not so vain that I take alot of myself.

There's more...

First date means there has been first contact over phone, coffee or drinks. Dinner or brunch is good. Will be casual for comfort and quiet enough for talk.
