Quote I found in the Coffee News: "I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers. Kahil Gibran"


Hi, I will talk a bit about me and what I am seeking.
Physically, I am about 5’10” and a little over 200 lbs (and trying to drop) – a little way, but not a long way, from being height / weight proportionate. Hopefully you are a natural beauty and are near to being, height / weight proportionate also.

So, who am I – what am I like – how do I think – what are my interests?
I try to keep a positive attitude – if your glass is half empty, just hold it outside in the rain until it is half full. I have an older bike that occasionally requires some “TLC”. I also hunt a little bit in the fall, and used to be heavily involved with auto racing a few years ago

And if you have read this far you know I am not interested in “games”

What am I looking for? To paraphrase a song “I am looking for someone to walk beside me, not always ahead or always behind me”.

Just to clarify some of their “drop down boxes”
- I am trying to quit smoking (Doctor is after me)
- I have 1 child that is living on her own
- At this stage of my life, I am not interested in starting a new family, but if you have one hopefully he/she/they are over 10 or 12 years old

All in all, I am a diamond in the rough - some might say really rough. So, if you are interested in trying to chip an edge or two off this diamond in the rough to find the jewel inside, drop me a line



PS - someting I ran into - apparently William Shakespeare wrote "No legacy is so rich as honesty." - can we strive to do anything less in our profiles?

Couple of other things I ran into in the "Coffee News"
- Vision without action is only a dream. Action without vision is wasting time. Vision and Action can change the world. . . . Confucious

- It is easy to blame someone else. You just point a finger at them. But have you noticed where the other three are pointing when you do that?

- Marriage is an institution in whicn the man loses his Bachelor's Degree and the woman gets her Master's.

- A man doesn't get lost - he discovers alternate destinations.

For the first face-2-face meeting, the "where" or what" isn't as important as being somewhere where both can be comfortable, where we can talk and we see if there is a potential connection. Where do you think we should go?

One topic of conversation could be where to go for the first date.
