ABOUT ME

Not half as pretentious as filling in this profile makes me look. I promise.Semi retired.Love to travel but hate hotels. Can cook up a storm, have done it for a living.
Talkative, but able to listen.Enjoy diving when I can. Two children both still at Uni, two ex wives a few broken hearts.Enjoy to dance love good wine and fine food, spicy is good.Experience is the one thing you can't buy but always pay for.Filling out places visited reminds me how many places are left to visit. Bring it on........

PHILOSOPHY

"Success is how far you bounce after hitting the floor"
We are stewards of this planet it is not ours to ruin,possesions own us we do not own them.Read "IF" by Rudyard Kipling if you really want to know what I aspire to.I fall very short of it's standards but keep trying. "The harder I work the luckier I get".
Karma is real and it is happening to us now.
"If not now then when if not me then whom'?
