I am someone who is very comfortable with my current existence, living alone (for now), enjoying my recent early retirement, and having fun whenever I can. I keep a clean and neat apartment (but am not OC), and am financially comfortable. I did the home ownership thing for many years, but now I am delighted in NOT having to clean gutters, cut grass, fix toilets, etc. [have done all of that, and still can. but...!] Divorce is many years behind me, and kids are out, on their own, very successful adults.

Now my spare time is for sharing with a special lady, doing special things! How about cruising in the country, looking for small town festivals, or that out-of-the-way tavern with the charm and atmosphere not found around the corner? Or just strolling over to The Pool on a hot summer day to relax and to bake in the sun? It could be a canoe float in the Ozarks, staying home to BBQ, or a trip into the ethnic neighborhoods of St. Louis. I have cruised and visited The Caribbean, and The Baja is also a great destination! Cabo? San Felipe? I want to return!

Life has so much to offer! But so much more when with that Special Lady! You will have a relaxed sense of humor, an intelligent outlook on life, a financially sound situation, an interest in travel, and an exciting sense of adventure.

No! Not hanging-from-the-cliff-on-a-strand-of-rope adventure, or poking at a tiger with an all-too-short stick adventure! But, you have an open mind, a relaxed demeanor, and OH! - happen to be nice looking, with a slim body, and do not smoke or in other ways mistreat your body. You realize you don't need much makeup or lipstick. And, Extra Credit if you actually have a waist! ha

Alright, before you start to think I am twisted or a deviate, I better stop. Let’s just say that I am thought by many to be a decent sort of fellow, of average looks, Conservative orientation, and with a fine sense of humor. I am looking to meet the Right Lady to enjoy and to embrace and to share some fun time. Are YOU the One? Let’s talk. Or, I mean, email. And, please, a CURRENT photo is a must [now or later]. [PS - the "MOHoser" is because I formerly sold fire hose in Missouri. Don't read into that, please, but I do use it on Hotmail, if you wish to visit me there.]

Fly to Paris for a gourmet meal and a hike to the top of the Eiffel Tower! Did my fingers type that!??! Actually, I meant to say we could just find a quiet place around here and talk, explore, sip, reveal, and relax. Second date could be to Paris..........Illinois, that is... Or, Mexico............Missouri. Or...
