We all get older and can't stop the clock but we can better ourselves and prevent making the same mistake twice in life. It would be nice to have close companionship but at the same time I want to trust someone to share my life with and to respect and feel happy about being with. I'm quiet but assertive when necessary. I guess ladies like is more the term I've been through one 14 year marriage (I divorced a cheating liar), but I'm still young enough to give it a second chance (with the right person). I am still athletic so lifting weights, exercising with the appreciation of riding bicycle, skiing, hiking, swimming, running, to include playing tennis, listening to music, dancing, and enjoying outdoor work around the yard. I also enjoy fishing and boating. Since I have been in the Military for the past 29+ years, I am used to the military lifestyle. I do like to travel and go to foreign countries for the excitement of learning about different cultures, mores and norms. My tommy feels yummy with foods like Italian, Mexican, Thai, Chinese, Korean, Country Cooking, good 'ol ham and eggs and of course a nice fresh grilled cheese sandwich or a BLT smothered with good friendship and care. Currently living in a Combat Housing Unit in Afghanistan and enjoying the non-comfort of everything!.
