About Me

I am a smoker who hates arguments.I am a commited giver. I often take on a supporting roll of a friend so they may be successful and I take chances. I generaly try to do too much for others and tend to put my own needs second to those I love. When I connect it's immediate, intense and complete. Some times I find it hard to slow down to let others catch-up.

I often bring curiosity, insight, and passion to bear on everyday practical issues. I use my intellect, imagination, versatility, and talents; to present ideas and choices to solve problems.

Right now I am working on recovering from the loss of My Wife who died after 44 years of marrage. This is/ has been one of the most chalanging situations of my life. Most of my "friends" seam to have vanished. The last I heard from them was a condolanse card. Thats ok though "I WILL SURVIVE".

My plans right now are to take some time off and travel (by rv) back "home" to visit family, friends. From there I plan to wander accross the U.S.A. and hopefuly meet some new frends along the way.

Looking forward to getting back into rving, that way I can take my time and visit family and frends on my schedual; also to develope new frendships without using bar sciene(?).

I do not have any thing aginst people drinking --- the bar sciene is just not for me

 Looking forward to rv travel once again. I hope not to be doing it alone (but I can).
