I ENJOY THE COMPANY OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY, TRAVEL (SHORT AND LONG TRIPS) WHICH I'VE DONE EXTENSIVELY,BUT WHICH STILL DRAWS MY ATTENTION IF I COULD HAVE A COMPATIBLE TRAVELING PARTNER. I RETIRED IN JULY AFTER A LONG AND SATISFYING CAREER AS A PHARMACIST IN A NUMBER OF SETTINGS, VISIT THE LOCAL 'Y' 3 OR 4 TIMES A WEEK, TAKE GROUP TRIPS TO CASINOS, AM LOOKING FORWARD TO BEGIN ART LESSONS AGAIN; ENJOY DINING IN AND OUT, SOMETIMES CARING FOR MY 5 YO GRANDSON AND VISITS FROM MY GRANDDAUGHTERS FOR HOUSTON. STILL LOOKING TO MAKE NEW FRIENDS (I"M A TRANSPLANT FROM HOUSTON) AND EXPLORING IMMEDIATE SHOPPING AND DINING AREA (COULD USE SOME COMPANY HERE!). MY TASTE IN MUSIC IS ECLECTIC (I LIKE MOST EVERYTHING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HARD ROCK,RAP).RESERVED INITIALLY BUT MAKE FRIENDS EASILY (AND KEEP THEM!),CAN HOLD MY OWN IN ANY CONVERSATION, CAN DISAGREE WITHOUT BEING DISAGREEABLE, RESPECTFUL OF OTHERS' OPINIONS, INQUISITIVE ABOUT PEOPLE'S OUTLOOK, A PROVERBIAL OPTIMIST, HONEST AND SINCERE. I WOULD LIKE TO MEET AND INCLUDE THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE TO ROUND OUT AND SHARE THE UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE. ARE YOU OUT THERE?

A QUIET CORNER IN A NICE RESTAURANT, WHERE AMBIANCE MAKES CONVERSATION POSSIBLE AND WE COULD GET TO KNOW A BIT ABOUT EACH OTHER OVER COFFEE OR A DRINK...
