Hello, and welcome to my e-world. Without seeming pretentious, I would like you to consider someone who is a gentleman, self-employed, spiritual, and punny. A romantic with a silly side.

I have this set that only profiles with photos will come through. Fair is Fair. I will answer any e-mail, as that is also only fair.

I keep fit by bicycling and coaching my son's teams. I have my own business, a small consulting firm, so I can set my own hours as long as I get my work done!

I like to think I am a laid back guy, but I am not a pushover.

Definitely a dog person (share a border collie with my son), but I do get along with all animals. Like to ride horses and my long term goal is a small farm.

Okay, here goes. The lady I would like to meet is open minded, but has a reasoned opinion. Fit, active, and involved with Life. Children and more are fine, as long as we can have some time by ourselves to breathe.

Spirituality is important to me, along with the Golden Rule.

Side Note: The beard has come back.

A first "date" would follow a first "meeting". The first meeting we show up separately some place fairly quiet so we can hear each other, chat over coffee or light fare, and decide where to go from there. Small local coffee shops or bookstores, outdoors preferably, take first place.
