At age 54 I have finally grown up. Responsibilities I have avoided all my life I now cherish. My kids, (see pics) are the most important things in my life. I went 25 years without kids or pets and now cant imagine my life without them. I am a volunteer at Paseo's Safe Haven in Sultan Washington. It is an important part of my life. I adopted both Sam and Tillie there. I have described myself as a broken down old jock/hippy/yuppie with artificial body parts. artificial knee. I have been divorced for 3 years, have recovered and now am comfortable with my position in life. I don't need a woman for a lover in my life but I do need friends. and I like women more than men. I am intelligent, witty/sarcastic/playful, read quite a bit, have a pretty nice wine cellar and am a great cook. Oh, and I am also modest. I am fascinated with the Internet, love to stay up late surfing or reading, enjoy cooking for friends and spending time in my wine cellar to find just the right match for the meal. Nothing, I repeat nothing is better than time on a boat ! Unfortunately my boat left with my divorce but I now purchased a VW camper as a surrogate. My dogs , oops, my kids are old and the van is much easier on them than the front seat of my pickup. I look forward to rediscovering my beautiful state, this time from the road rather than the water. Honesty, trust , affection - these are the 3 non negotiable requirements that I demand from you. Um also no smoking. Those are the 4 non... you must wear sensible shoes. Those are the five non negotiable traits I require. Extra credit for being a saxophone playing redhead with a sarcastic wit and sanity at least half of the month.

I adopted Tillie 1.5yr ago. I transported her for the shelter for her surgery and had a delightful ride. She won my heart. she is the Diva.It is such a wonderful feeling to be greeted as I arrive home from work with enthusiasm I then rescued Sammy on the day he was to be euthanized. He is a real card. he thinks he is a black lab ( actually malamute/border collie) and goes nuts when we get near water. He will find the largest hunk of wood around and expect me to toss it for him to recover.He likes to head butt the couch when excited. He lays on his back with legs in the air when i say "dead dog" so that I might scratch his belly. They give me hours of entertainment and joy.

is it time for dinner?

I am a man seeking a woman age 35 to 60
