I enjoy the outdoors, walking, science of any kind, theater, plays, watching children discover their world. I enjoy cooking and don't mind doing same. I enjoy intelligent and intellectual conversation anywhere from the boring and the mundane to excitement over a sports car or hot rod. I enjoy the races but do not gamble. If a night out to the casino is what you want that's ok, we can trade off a football game later. I enjoy the smile of a child trick or treating and going to museums or the Grand Canyon and the mystery of a forest. I enjoy the beauty of a carefully manicured garden and picking cherries or apples. Friday fish fries and chicken wings or roast beef sandwhiches with a band later is a great evening.

I love books and the wonder of the ocean a beach or a good beer the and the serenity of the mountains. Fishing is best when shared.

Classical music and a piano sonata or a Rhapsody in Blue, the big band sounds to classical rock and golden oldies. An evening on a boat or a cup of coffee and a sunrise and a sunset,--- reading the NY Times or Ayn Rands " Atlas Shrugged"

Going to the gym or working out, be sure to bring me along, I'll find something to do while you are on the bike and I'm doing the elliptical trainer or -- whatever. A light dinner and not a greasy diet is my preference. I like to eat healthy but don't mind cheating once in awhile.

Travel--where do you want to go, set a goal and plan for it.

I like to feel accomplished and am a self achiever, have run a business for 30 years. My partner will need to be interested in hard work and not just sitting around and living off past accomplishments, I am not ready to retire. I am not part of the "sit on your a-- society" and don't relish the thought of visiting the mailbox every month for recreation or playing the same old golf course and just playing cards for fun.

A partner will have not lost her curiosity to learn and do same.

Family is all important and is a focal point.
Someone who likes to laugh and can do same, a sense of humor is a must.

A walk, coffee, a beer, setting is open, an event or -- decide later.
