Retired in 2005 from USGS in Colorado. Been living on a 40' boat in the PNW for the last 12 years. Sold the boat in September, then spent the winter in the desert to mull where to go next. Now camped in the Sierra Nevada's....planning my new life on the south coast of Portugal. Care to join me? As you will read...I saunter to a different drummer. Seriously Sapiosexual. Am potentially repairable, according to my therapist. The older I get the more magnificent I was. I wear my heart on my sleeve, my teeth in a jar, and my foot in my mouth. I have a son, he made me a man. I have a 40 lb dog, he is family We have a symbiotic relationship, he sheds/I vacuum He sleeps on the bed unless there's...turbulence. I drive a BLUE pickup truck I ride a shiny BLUE Harley (UPDATE: motorcycle has been sold) My dog's collar and leash are BLUE I have many BLUE tattoos on my arms, well hidden beneath the sleeves of my BLUE parka ...my favorite color is forest green I find it difficult to dance...impossible to bowl...sober Shiver me Timbers The beauticious, curly, bountiful locks once gracing me noggin have treacherously disembarked to me gunwales and astern. I'm really good in bed...that is, I fall asleep soon after attaining a horizontal position I'm finding most women only want me for sex or laughs. Inevitably concurrently. I shoot a pretty good game of pool, but will let you win....nah...I'll kick your ass Favorite foods are anything spicy...or has grill marks Sashimi is bait Politically...Hard to Port (far far far Left) (much further than Obama) (much more like Bernie!) and you should be too I would pay tithe to a television evangelist with Tourette Syndrome. No tobacco, no drunkenness, no violence, no screaming, no religious hypocrisy, no big secrets. Have no criminal record (ain't been caught) and strive to be honest and forthright. I am kind to kind people, good to good dogs, sweet to sweet children, handsome to those with poor vision. Favorite authors are Farley Mowatt, Joseph Campbell, Naomi Klein, Chris Hedges, Matt Taibbi, Howard Zinn, Sheldon Wolin, John Steinbeck, Khaled Hosseini, Edgar Allen Poe, Mark Twain, Ken Wilber, E.O.Wilson Above all else- we gotta LIKE each other. I'm not asking for much...just be...politically and socially CONSCIOUS, smiling, happy, friendly, bright, witty, kind, spontaneous, physically and emotionally passionate, adventurous, confident, soft-spoken, assertive, 57-69, trim and attractive, NON-smoker. A French farm-girl that moonlights blowing up bridges for La Résistance...would be welcome to hang her beret on my.....bedpost. Wear a skirt and I'll follow you anywhere. Someone that cooks/bakes, healthy, would be a shock to my system, but greatly appreciated. Sorry, I'm extremely shallow...if I were a stream, you'd barely get your socks wet...NO PICS - NO RESPONSE. That's my story...and I'm stickin' to it.
I joined expat.com on 10 August 2017.
