I'd like to meet:
As trite as it may sound, I am hoping to meet a lady that will be a good friend in the beginning. I am not looking to get into a relationship that is smothering from either side, but one where both of us would enjoy each others company regularly. And please don't tell me that you have no baggage, because that means you would be perfect! We all have some, but how we channel it in our lives is what counts. You help me with my lil baggage, and I will help you eliminate yours - deal (or no deal)? It's what friends do! I'm hoping to meet a very carefree lady that still wants to experience all the fun things still out there. Someone I can pamper and spoil to death, but not expect anything from me at any given time. She should enjoy doing very simple things, and sometimes doing nothing at all. Someone who will enjoy hanging out with my dogs often. Someone who enjoys dinners out, movies in a theater, walks down Honeymoon Island Beach (so peaceful and uncomplicated and beautiful), fancy putt-putt courses, window shopping at a nice mall, people watching at the airport while at TGI Fridays, and those great lil trips around Anna Marie Island. The family has a place on the beach in Bal Harbour (thanks Mom and Dad :-)) on the east coast, so I get to head over there when the dogs give me permission to leave Tampa. As far as what celebrities I would really like to have dinner with: Whoopy Goldberg, Morgan Freeman, Keith Urban, Tiger Woods, Robin Williams, Sade, and the entire "Will and Grace" crew!! And just for the opportunity of seeing such beauty up close and personal: Faith Hill and Angelina Jolie !! I'm not asking for too much, am I :-))))))))).

Books:
I don't have very much time to read at all, as I own a dog boarding kennel. I do miss being able to read several authors, especially John Grisham. I did read a Playboy about 6 mos. ago, but I didn't look at any of the pics !!!
Heroes:
My biggest heroes are my Mom and Dad. They have ALWAYS been there for me when no one else was/would. But there are no larger Heroes anywhere on this earth other than the women and men giving their time and their lives to protect our America. From those of us not fighting: We Love You With All Our Hearts !! We hope you all come home soon !!! I also better include Rin Tin Tin (some of us will remember this guy), Lassie, and Scooby!! Oh, and the most important Hero of all: God!!!
