I figure it's time for an update.... I'm still (happily?relentlessly?hopelessly?) single and continue reinventing my life and myself -- allowing myself to enjoy aspects of life that I was discouraged from in the past. From the age of 19 until 48, I was in 4 back-to-back relationships (1st was for 3 yrs, 2nd for 5 yrs, 3rd for 19 yrs, and 4th just under a year) so I had never really learned how to be single. When my last partner died suddenly just shy of our first anniversary, I decided that maybe it was The Universe telling me it was time that I learn. (Who knew it could/would be so much fun?!?) Time and again over the last 5 years, I keep getting presented with the same "life lesson": that there are no guarantees of tomorrow (I *knew* this..I *swear* I did, but just seemed to keep getting hit over the head with it.) So it has become my daily mantra ---- "Each and every day, tell those you love that you love them; acknowledge that there is Beauty in the everyday and the mundane; and knowing that certain uncertainty of tomorrow, GET NEKKID TODAY!

Mainly interested in meeting other local, like-minded males -- whether gay/str8/bi, it doesn't matter -- who are into hangin' out naked (and are chill enough that when someone pops a boner they're not going to shriek like schoolgirls...lol).

Many and varied...from biking, to yardwork, avid reader, the beach/ocean (wish I lived closer!)

Pretty eclectic tastes: die-hard Benatar fan, from The Pretenders to Cecilia Bartoli

Dirty Grandpa, Tumbledown, The Hundred Foot Journey, All About Eve, Auntie Mame

Not every hero gets fanfare and accolades, parades or sometimes even a "thank you". To me, heroes manifest as single parents, or teachers in the classroom, or caregivers who go quietly about the act of surviving the day -- or any of countless others whose journey in life isn't smooth, or simple, or straightforward; those who carry on no matter what challenges Life puts before them. As Maryanne Radmacher said: "Courage does not always roar.... Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying 'I will try again tomorrow'."
