My integrity is what keeps me focused and sleeping with a clear conscience. I strive for a win/win outcome on every situation. Having never met a stranger, you can find me conversing with the couple sitting next to me at the ballet or with another hiker that made the trek to a remote waterfall. I have never been referred to as 'high maintenance', yet, I do have self-standards in which I adhere to (ex.: I do not wear sweats in public). I am secure enough to be silly when the time is appropriate (not often enough) and am an accountable person. My love and respect for nature is the motivation for most of my travels. Although a dream of mine is to stay at the Sheraton Huts, my lifestyle of living below my means has kept me from it thus far.

I enjoy getting a group of people together for a night of euchre. I don't live each day as if it were my last because I'd never get the dishes or laundry done : ) I love water, be it the Caribbean or a private pond in Minnesota. I also enjoy fishing and would like to learn to play tennis and golf in the near future (assuming that there is anyone patient enough to teach me). The Colts have a huge fan in me (just ask any of my neighbors) so you'll find me watching all of their games.

I've been out of the dating venue for about 20 years now - and WOW, things have changed! LOL I am looking for some one that wants me, not someone that needs me - if you don't understand the difference, we probably are not a good match. Not interested in looking for a committed relationship - merely hoping to find more friends. I get along best with accountable people that have a positive attitude and terrific communication skills. I am not looking for a long distance relationship or someone that cannot laugh at their self. If these are items of interest to you, let me know - I'd like to hear from you.

I wish you the very best on your quest.....

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance!

To meet at a place that is conducive to conversing - miniature golf or sharing calamari at Rick's Boatyard for examples. I have learned that first dates (AKA meetNgreets) reveal little. I am not one that is looking for instant chemistry or sparks, I prefer to be attracted to the person, not the persona.
