Dominican in February 2010...see you there :) Those who say "life is short"- what do you personally have that is longer?- think outside your box!! If you get that - you might get me..:) Comfortable with who I am...

First and foremost I am a man, and a proud father of 2 great , grown up , sons! They are very precious to me, as are all for us who have children, and have been my anchors from time to time in my life, as I have been their's. Family is important! I became a granddad just at the end of August of 2008, my grandson is in the south and the first visit was awesome.. Such a precious gift from heaven!! More trips in the future for spoiling times!! Also a new granddad in December of 2009 , truly blessed as she also is a gift from above...:) While my life has been interesting and adventurous, I find myself single again, and my baggage is now minimal. Your baggage should be the same! Not wanting to be your 3rd wheel...that's what is for the vehicle they ask us all if we have..Had to be a reason for that one..wouldn't you agree? :)

I've been told I'm confident,physically fit, easy on the eyes, sensuous AND sexy. Gotta love those ones!! I have one tattoo on my shoulder that is a memory of where I've been, and No..., lol, it's not a name!! And I will get another one someday of the memories yet to be! I also think that how one dresses and carries oneself are important!! To have the arm of a woman intertwined with mine when going out for entertainment is one of my favorite moments! I can light up a room when entering and called for, or can shoot from the hip, and leave a smile as I exit. My humor can be dry at times, but my laugh is hearty when I find it very funny!! Love Monty Python and physical comedy, and Leslie Neilson and Adam Sandler are pure genius!!

In my life I've made my fortune, had it spent, no regrets btw, and am doing it again!! I've loved and lost, and have seen many brilliant sunrises and elusive sunsets. One photo in my gallery is of a sunrise in Dominican recently, I've had a few questions on that one!! Those and other events have made me who I am and where I'm going. Life is here for the taking, and the choices are to watch life slide by or enjoy the ride!! I'm a worker, no silver spoon, and I do enjoy what I do for a living, and working here allows me the lifestyle I wish to pursue!! My off time is fun time! It can be limited time, but it is time never the less to meet, travel ,and possibly enjoy your company on the ride! I can't say I'm looking "exclusive" right now but.... "never say never"... another of my life's learnings! I put down dating as I think that's where any serious relationship starts. The most precious gift a man can give a woman is his spirit!!
I'm not perfect, but try to be the best person I can !!

I am the quintessential Gemini!! Spontaneity with calming waters at times...waiting for the next wind of change!! I have been told to keep my eyes open for the Libra's or Aquarius's that may chance encounter with me in the future! So come what may,,, I'll look, but not be restricted to only those signs!!... lol. My moon sign is Scorpio. and for those that know .. let's say it can be very.. intriguing ..:)

I am opinionated...without being rude; compassionate ...without being a pushover; passionate.... to a fault; also reliable and loyal... without being anybody's fool.

Yes I smoke. You don't have to but I choose to, and if that's a turn off.. it wouldn't have worked anyways, and you can stop reading. Honesty is big item with me, and should be for you also!

I am able to travel quite a bit, so the fact that I'm Northern isn't a problem for me, ..and I hope wouldn't be for you either. Those who put up distance markers or other restrictions for messages in there profiles... message me if you wish.. one just never knows what it could lead to. Like I said ..."I'm adventurous"!! We can use MSN or Yahoo Messenger .... Just ask for the eaddy when you contact me!

English speaking with some French though I do need to work on that some more;never enough practice! I believe it is a need within Canadian boarders. I'm also looking to expand my Spanish. Good blues and a fine wine!! Bring it on!!

I know what I want and I'm not settling for less! You should be the same! If your just browsing,or wishing to test the merchandise, that's fine, but accept that I may be also!! No alcoholics or drug users.

I believe in physical attraction, and while some may find that shallow, I am who I am. I do take care of myself and would expect you to be doing the same! From the physical it develops, and while mail messages are a good starting point, I also believe phone conversation is also just as important, to ensure both parties are on the same wave length, and another of our senses to be stimulated mutually also! I'm a sucker for a winning smile and a good wink!

I will continue to respond to your messages if .... you are straightforward, and the mutual attraction is there. Misandrist's need not apply!! You should be over 40, it would take the right circumstances for you not to be! Pity for you woman who put such low age restrictions for engaging with one on your profiles.. You're missing some of the best delights by doing so!!

Send a mail message if you would like to know me better. Probably one of the biggest problems with any of these sites is the not needing of putting yourself out there in terms of a picture; wouldn't you agree? I post my picture and think its only right that you do also! Have a recent picture or 2 to share (not just a face portrait), and if you message me without intending to share one, I question whether you really have read my profile!

There is so much more to any of us than what can be written in a profile!! The rest of me will remain a mystery and I hope it intrigues you enough to venture further.
Even if we don't connect we will have at least met, and I for one, will be the better for it! Best of luck to us all!!!

Depending on the chemistry as we got to know each other here,and on the phone, our initial meeting,we can do the light lunch or dinner thing... If I don't order dessert then there wouldn't be a second meeting (hint) ....... For a real first date In the warmer weather, a nice walk in the morning viewing the sites of the city we are in, a small picnic lunch in a floral park we have seen, a afternoon drive in my sporty car around the area Then if the chemistry is continuing, a night out to a live concert or sporting event, to be capped of with a nice outdoor fire and some nice wine along with a fine view of the stars and enjoying the company of my interest, watching the sunrise. In the colder weather, a meeting for some coffee in the morning, followed by visiting local shops , a zesty lunch, a run to a ski hill for an afternoon of skiing (cross country- I don't do down hill yet!! lol ) and sitting by the evening fire in a chalet. The thing with first real dates though, is anyone can plan... it's the other times and meetings that will make the feelings for adventures and time together!!
