Hello! I am an honest, easy going, hard working professional​ man. I have just returned to the USA after more than two years living in Canada. I treasure honest, fun people and friends. I enjoy socializing,​ meeting new people and discussing just about anything-fro​m daily life to the future of the world (maybe we can save it!)

I really enjoy nature and the great outdoors, good conversation​ and that first cup of coffee in the morning. I love to watch sunrises and sunsets.

3,910 miles later, I have arrived in Syracuse, NY. It took me 8 days to take the long way across the USA; from Seattle to Syracuse, via Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania​ and New York!

I am seeking friends. I will not respond to requests for money or visas! I seek honest people! I also seek people who will write more than once or twice! And NO GAMES, please. I do not play games and will not tolerate it from anyone else! Please, do not add me as a friend if we have not written-your​ request will be denied!

Hiking, walking, nature, history, gardening, cooking, wine,photogr​aphy,convers​ation, travel and so much more!

Blues, rock, folk, classical, jazz...it depends on my mood.

On Golden Pond, Indiana Jones, Gone with the Wind, The Green Mile, Castaway, Young Frankenstein​, The Shawshank Redemption, Field of Dreams, My Cousin Vinny,  and so many more!

House, Northern Exposure, MASH, the History Channel, Discovery Channel...wh​en I get a chance to watch TV.

I love reading! Good fiction, biographies,​ just about anything! I usually read more than one book at a time!

Enjoy life--this isn't a dressed rehearsal!

Life can be difficult at times, but it sure beats the alternative!​
