About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

I'm older in years but young in spirit. I like music, drinking, running, cycling and keeping in shape. I'm generally conservative but often surprise people with my craziness (must be my alter ego.) My interests cover many areas and I like meeting people and finding out about them. My passions are people, photography, fine dining and outdoor athletics.Oh, and in case you haven't guessed I'm a wee bit Irish!..

My Interests

Hash House Harriers, photography, running, marathons, bicycling, travel, reality TV shows, computers, cooking, swimming, current events

I'd like to meet:

Fun honest people, adventurers, people who like to let their hair down (that's why I love Hashing). People wanting to connect on many levels.Age doesn't matter. I know 20 year olds going on 80 and 80 year olds going on 20.

Music:

Eclectic...everything from PCD, Sinatra, Louis and Ella, classic rock, easy listening, and contemporary pop to classical, opera and a little bit of western.

Movies:

Action films, mysteries, romantic comedies, and tear jerkers.

Television:

PBS and reality TV shows

Books:

Biographies, anything by Christopher Moore (you gotta read Fluke for a weird experience), mysteries.

Heroes:

Sounds like a cliche but my Mom and Dad; anybody with Multiple Sclerosis who's fighting the fight; risk takers. Also, I grew up with 4 fantastic sisters and now have 9 nieces. They've given me an appreciation of girls and women that has made me a better person.
