[COLOR red]I haven't been on here in ages but I just reread my profile and it still seems to sum me up as well as any other I've written so I'm going to leave it for now...[/COLOR] I hate writing these things....not because I don't have anything to say, or because I don't like talking about myself, but just because I don't like trying to describe myself. I don't exactly fit into pigeonholes. I'm a bit of an odd duck and definitely an acquired taste. You can't really appreciate what I bring to the table until you've spent some time with me. I make my living as a handyman. I've been doing it for a little over twenty years now and most of the time it's interesting work, if not particularly lucrative. But I like going into people's homes and making their lives a little bit better, or maybe just a little bit more functional, and I'm pretty good at it so it gets me by. It beats the hell out of going to the same office or the same factory day after day after day and seeing the same people and having the same conversations over and over and over again. Life is about learning and growing and meeting and sharing and I find the way I've ordered my life allows me to do that pretty well. I live a pretty quiet life.. or at least I do now. I've pretty much "been there and done that" as much as anybody has and I do have some interesting stories to tell, but the days of closing the bars and going out on three day coke-fueled benders are behind me now. If you're looking for excitement or danger then you should probably keep on looking. There are lots of guys out there my age who are desperately trying to pretend they're still twenty-five and they're not hard to find. Me, I'm well aware that I'm creeping up on my fiftieth birthday and I'm quite happy about it. Considering some of the things I've done in my life it's a damned miracle I've made it this far. :)) As far as I'm concerned, my age is a badge of honor, not something to be afraid of. But don't get me wrong, I'm up for new adventures and new experiences... it's just that I've never been one to go out and do things on my own. I like to share my life experiences with someone. A partner in crime, if you will. Unfortunately most of my friends are so stuck in their ways that you couldn't drag them out of their favorite bar with a team of horses. They never go anywhere, they never do anything. They're fun to drink, and joke around and play pool with... but I'm looking for a little more than that right now. I have a bucket list of things I would like to do... I just don't have anyone to help me carry the bucket right now. Which brings me to my wife. She helped me carry the bucket for a while...we had a lot of fun nights and random adventures, going places I would never have thought to go by myself, but MS took her mobility and then complications took her life. I have a lot of friends, some of them online, and each and every one of them has told me it's a bad idea to include my late wife in my profile. And although I understand their reasons, and I even agree with some of them, trying to deny someone who was such a big part of my life, who helped shape who and what I am now, and who continues to inspire me to be better than I was, seems ridiculous to me. I also think it's important to explain that it's been almost [COLOR red]three[/COLOR]-and-a-half years and I've done my grieving and I'm ready to move on, but there's no way in hell I'm looking for a 'replacement'... and how can I explain that if I don't talk about her in the first place. I am happy with my life. I'm happy being single. I'm happy living alone. I'm just looking for someone to share some new adventures with. Someone who hasn't already heard all my jokes. Someone I can tell my stories to, someone I can hear new stories from. And if you think that this profile doesn't really belong on a site 'like this', well then, you're just starting to get a glimpse into the essence of me. I do things differently. I forge my own paths. I make my own decisions. I go my own way. But it would be nice to have someone share the walk with me for a while.... :)

My Ideal Person I think I've pretty much said everything I need to say already... but here's a few tips, just in case.

My late wife was from Wisconsin. We met online. And although we had a wonderful, if sadly short, relationship, I have absolutely NO desire to attempt another cross-border, long-distance, immigration nightmare, affair. If you're not local, we are NOT going to meet.

If you're involved with anyone...sexually, romantically, legally ( as in still married, regardless of any 'understandings' you may claim to have )... Go away.

If you're miserable and whiny and gloomy... Go away. Life is too short for that crap.

And finally, if you attempt to contact me and don't make a reference to something specific in THIS profile, then you will be ignored. No offense, but there are just too many scammers and fakes and phonies out there in the online world. If you can't take the time to write something that lets me know you've actually read my profile, then I'm going to assume the worst and send your message to electronic oblivion. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

Thanks for stopping by! All the best of luck to you in your search.
