I am a man of the soil (have grown my own wine f. 28 years - lots of medals -, fruit etc.) and of letters. Like languages, music ( favourite composer: Franz Schubert), dancing. Fitness-oriented (daily weight training, yoga stretches, swimming (usually 2 km), tennis). I like my kayak (double!). It has a full sailing rig (lots of fun). I've had the love of my life - hoping for another great love for the evening of my life. The photo is of me with Isis, my four-legged blonde, after about three months on the beach in Mexico. I'm 6 ft. and weigh 182 pounds. I am the proud grandfather of five GREAT grandchildren; the baby of the family just turned 14 - and stands 6'7".

Meet somwhere nice for coffee or a glass of wine (depending on time of day) - preferrably NOT Starbucks or Tim Horton's. Too darn sterile and noisy.
