| About Me
|
|
|
A bit about me... I am a simple, easy going guy. I am an introvert, which for me means that I am more comfortable around fewer people, not more people. As I get older I find that more experiences, those rich shared moments, have far more meaning to me than stuff.
My passion is being out in wilder places, hiking, biking and kayaking. Always seeking new trails and hidden lakes to explore. I enjoy cooking, live music or just driving around to explore. I love watching the nighttime sky, a crescent moon, a shooting star. I have started playing pickleball at my gym, singles and doubles. It's a nice addition to the fitness room. I am especially grateful for the love and presence of my children, grandchildren and siblings- they are my greatest treasures.
I'm becoming more in tune with my spiritual side as I age, whether it's through meditation or yoga. And part of that is finding joy in simple moments, connecting more deeply to my daily life and the world around me.
I would like to live a life of shared goals of health, harmony and mindfulness, not just for personal benefit, but, for mutual benefit. Not just for me, but, for us.
I am looking for that special someone to share life with, someone I can compliment and who can compliment me. I believe the work and the wait is worth it...

How I spend my free time:
- My exercise revolves around hiking, both local trails and around the Northeast. And I throw in the occasional mountain bike ride or lake paddle. I also love Pickleball, yoga, pilates and meditation. I will occasionally do a full moon meditation if the weather cooperates. Once I meditated under a full moon in January wrapped in a down sleeping bag. Last summer I meditated under a full moon on a lake in a kayak. Last month under a full moon eclipse in Mexico. Next month...

My Personality:
-
Introverted, Caring, Adventurous

When out with friends, I'm usually:
-
Trying to be a good listener
-
What makes me laugh hardest:
-
Napoleon Dynamite is my all time favorite, so awkwardly hilarious every time.
-
I'm happiest when:
-
I'm happiest when I'm in nature hiking, biking or kayaking. The other day I took the long way home and was driving through the back country roads, half of them dirt roads, sometimes it's nice to just get lost...
-
The things that annoy me are:
-
Sign pollution such as "Scenic Road Next 1.3 Miles" is one of my pet peeves, that's so unnecessary. I guess that's my inner minimalist showing.
-
The best day of my life was when:
-
The births of my son and daughter. And, I must say, the day I retired four years ago.
-
If I could have dinner with any three people, they would be:
-
I would like to be at the same table as Jesus and Helen Schucman, as she was the one who channeled Jesus and wrote "A Course in Miracles". How interesting would that be...

Dead Poets Society. The takeaway for me is the scene "O Captain! My Captain!".

My favorite music:

From classical music while cooking to Flo Rida while driving to Willy Nelson around the fire pit. I go through periods of time when I don't listen to much music. Then, times like now, when I listen to a lot of music. It is a reminder to me that I love music and also cherish my quiet time.
-
My favorite books:
-
Presently reading A Course In Miracles. And I keep reading The Four Nobel Truths. I actually find myself listening to more audiobooks and podcasts. I also watch YouTube travel stuff, particularly budget travel and slow travel content, great ways to stretch the dollar while traveling.
