I am 6'4", have brown hair, brown eyes, and a goatee. I am boot wearing, beer drinking cowboy at heart..and would love to have someone take me two-stepping. I like to spend quiet time at home when I am not traveling, especailly watching old tearjerker movies like; Madame X, Imitation of Life, A Summer place, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and the like. I enjoy new tear jerkers like; Brokeback Mountain, Far From Heaven, Love, Valor and Compassion, LongTime Companion, and The Band played on, The Boys in the Band, Torch Song Trilogy and many more. I big softee, who is non-confrontational,who is more willing to turn his cheek, than slap another. I love my kids, my grandson, my animals, the Marine Corp. and my Marinist Small Religious Community.My life was put on hold for so many years, it is hard for me to express my feelings and wants. I am an ex-schoolteacher, and ex-retailer ( thank god- worked for a rotten company for 14 years) and now a political fundraiser for the Democratic Party. I am open to whatever comes my way, and as I am very trusting, can be convinced to try anything, atleast once. A trip down memory lane;

My Interests

..I enjoy Democratic Politics, writing Op-Ed Political articles,reading, writing on social and economic justice , I"am a yellow-dog Democrat and have zero tolerance for Republican intolerance of others. I enjoy my home, my pets, going to movies, and out to dinner, traveling and working in my yard. I try to go to Mass daily, and I'am very strong in my Catholic faith. I enjoy people who enjoy life and have a great sense of humor and if they like children and animals are a plus. I like to spend quiet evenings around home watching a great flick or listening to some old music . I am very quiet until I feel comfortable around someone that I have just met. I believe in the motto "LIVESTRONG" and all that the motto embodies.You live each day to the fullest because you are not guaranteed that there will be a tomorrow. .. width="425" height="350" ....

My two favorite songs of all time .... Iam always Chasing Rainbows by Jane Oliver,and

I was need of some spiritual uplifting and she wrote to me in 1996 and sent me some of her old cassettes. She was just awesome and I really do admire her and her courage.
