About Me

For whatever reason at this stage in my life, my interests, issues, hobbies, etc. seem to fall more into the category of things that the guys generally like to do or have to deal with. My job is male-dominated, most of my co-workers are men. No doubt, I am far more excited by an invitation to go skydiving than an afternoon ladies' lunch, though hanging out with certain women can be lots of fun...
My family lived all over the world, so I have travelled to lots of beautiful and fascinating places over the years. Tropical climates are my favorite since I spent my childhood in Thailand. I spent some time in Kauai with my sister last year, check out the photos in my travel album. Went to Oahu last November, It was awesome! Very romantic.
I have a strong spiritual side, though I am not at all religious. I like being part of a community, but I am essentially a private person. Like most people, I guess I am a bit of a dichotomy. I think it takes a long time to really know a person well.

My Interests

Hiking, travel, road trips, working on my house, the spiritual path in all of its manifestations..

I'd like to meet:

I like simplicity in my relationships, I am not much of a drama queen. Life is too short, better to rise above, see beyond, move through the confusion as quickly and cleanly as possible. I really want to meet people who have a similar outlook.

In terms of my love life, I am looking for some sort of friendship first. I figure the rest will follow if it is meant to. I have a lot of guy friends, so whoever I end up with will probably have to be fairly trusting. I am pretty loyal when I do settle down, not much to worry about there...

My new landscaping is just about finished, still a little sparse. I want to let the plants take root and grow for a while before I add anything new, not sure how quickly they will grow and spread. In ...

Had a wonderfully romantic night Thursday, went to the hot tubs at Well Within in Santa Cruz with surfer boy. The best rooms are indoors, but they have sliding shoji screen doors that open onto a pri...

Zen Gardens

Just had the gardener dig up everything by the door, removing all the plants that created the water damage and dry rot in the first place. So now I am starting from scratch, and wondering what would...

Zen Home, Beginners Home

Just got my house painted, a big change for me. Surfer boy is more zen than country cottage, so influenced me towards a simpler style, more updated. It looks beautiful, sort of a cross between zen a...

Well, i have a new manager at work, someone who is just a little bit too interested in what I do for my tastes! So much for staying under the radar, sigh. He is shaking things up, and I am trying to...
