Westerns, Star Trek, some musicals (Mamma Mia, The Music Man, Yankee Doodle Dandy, 1776). Seldom go to the movies anymore, mostly watch movies on DVD.

Classic, soft rock, loved the Carpenters and Barry Manilow.

Travelling, camping, a little photography, animals, nature.

See Alaska, Scotland and Ireland, Australia, and see where I was born in Ripon, Wisconsin. Learn to play the guitar and the drums. Learn to ride horses. Someday meet some of my friends from this site.

I am somewhat shy and gentle. I've been looking for a way to meet new people, at least on-line. I find most social networking sites to be full of vugarity and rudeness and I hope to find loving, kind people here. In the past couple of years I have learned the hard way that some people who pretend to be your friend are just using you - yes I have been hurt by people I believed to be my friends. So true and honest friendship are very, very dear to me, something to be treasured and loved with all my heart.

An open mind, kindness, gentleness, romance, intelligence, true friendship, a good sense of humor.

Rudeness, vugarity, politics and lima beans.
