I would like to make friends from all over the world.  I'm kind of laid back, easy to talk to and am a good listener.  Not interested in a relationship​ nor looking for a soul mate here!

I'm a good conversation​alist... open to the comments of others; non- judgmental in most instances; have hatred for violence and repression of others; like to laugh.... love surprises, appreciate a fine red wine and eating out at nice restaurants.​...  I enjoy the little fun things in life; petting a dog, watching children at play, finding out new things no matter how trivial.  I value my friends,  the comradeship of others holds a special place with me.

I am a mostly laid-back type person, am easy to talk to, a good listener I’m told. Things that I have an interest in, not in any order of importance are -- the Arts, photography,​ reading, writing, films, good conversation​, eating out in neighborhood​ restaurants,​ sipping coffee in a favorite café, variety of music, taking walks, getting lost in a book store, meeting new people, discovering any thing new… simply grasping the moment!

Do not send me your personal email as I will not reply to it.

HAVE something to say on your profile.  I don't answer any of those BLANK profiles.

I'll talk about myself with anyone who cares to contact me... be respectful as that is the way I am.

Photography,​ writing, reading.... getting together with friends and indulge in good conversation​ on many topics.  I like to laugh and even do so at myself; there are times when humor helps me get through the day.

My music tastes are pretty well rounded from rock to classical to blues with some of Sinatra and Louis Armstrong thrown in for class!

Love films....

I read a wide range of venues, not into mystery much.

***** The music played on, insistently beating on the vulnerable hidden-away part of the soul that longs for the sweetness of another person like the sweetness of God.******

Remember love confers you no rights;

Don't pressure anyone to like you by being over congenial.
