"What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life--to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?" George Eliot

Asked friends to do this for me (male and female). Here's what they say ... Passionate, about the things I believe in and with special person I'm with; genuine; fun; sensual; outgoing; honest; unique (think that's positive!) giving; great laugh. Here's what I say ... I love being around people; great sense of humor (little on the goofy side); dancing; golfing; fine dining and great food at a hole-in-the wall; gourmet cooking, lying next to my pool reading a great book; moonlight swims; sharing a bottle of wine next to a fire; enjoy doing jobs around the house--the sense of accomplishment over doing something myself. (And, for some reason, really like wearing that tool belt!); love guys with a great smile who can make me laugh; kissing; spooning (yes, I realize this leads to forking!); movies at home with buttery popcorn and butterfingers (my weakness); Trips "up north" (to my folks home on the Muskegon River) sitting next to a campfire enjoying the stars with good friends; exotic beaches; adventure... Looking for honest, passionate, fit, active gentleman to enjoy living with. Are you out there?

15 yrs. ago I experienced hearing loss in both of my ears. With the advances in technology today, I still enjoy everything I did before the hearing loss. I mention this now to save time explaining later. To me, though, telling people I wear hearing aids is like telling someone you wear glasses or contacts because your eyes don't function properly. What I experienced made me a better person. I see the good this change has caused in me. I now work with the elderly and disabled. I've gained even more compassion and empathy for others. And, most importantly, learned that what makes us happy cannot be bought.

Did I mention I'm painfully honest up there somewhere?????????

Initial meet: glass of wine; coffee; join me on a walk with my golden, Baloo ...
