Recently retired early and am financially independent where I will never have to work again. Avocation is volunteer work, albeit, I am taking a break due to retirement. Very active and muscular/athletic, i.e., travel extensively for pleasure (mostly to pursue SCUBA diving), climbed 14ners, snow skiing, and hiker.

I am a "go slow" person, that hopes I do meet the "ONE," where a long term relationship develops. However, I've been around the block enough to know that most expectations, especially unrealistic ones, are preconceived or premeditated resentments waiting to happen. Therefore, I have indicated I am looking for "friends" and if something else develops, then great. Another way of looking at it is this way, "God laughs when we make plans," thus I try to live my life one day at a time. Keeper material - attractive (to me), honest, open-minded (liberal or middle of the road politically), spiritual, and kind. By the by, the pic with the woman is my mom . . . and yes, I love/respect my mom (grin).   Send me a message!
