CURRENT MISSION

To meet interesting people and experience with them the beauty of the nature around. Whether it be sitting on the deck and grilling out watching the birds or taking pictures of waterfalls. I'm open for most anything make a suggestion.

ABOUT ME

About me...I like traveling, nature, gardening, reading...wow I sound a bit boring. I love film and animals. I like to experience life, live life, not merely exist. I love to meet new and interesting people. I enjoy cooking and being on or near the water. I'm an open book if you have a question feel free to ask.

PHILOSOPHY

Goodness that is a difficult one. I do love to study philosophy so I suppose I'm more Plato than Aristotle and I enjoy Nietzsche. Basically most decisions can be made by whether or not you would like it to be done to you. The classic "golden rule."
