The first thing that I need to do is take this keyboard in hand and tell you something’s about myself: I have a great sense of humor. I’m warm and caring. I have two kids, who have families and kids of their own. I raised my son starting in the fourth grade and my daughter came to me at the start of her high school years. I was a high school volleyball coach for a number of years. I have been taking horseback English (some jumping) riding lessons for the last three years and now I’m taking western lessons. I’m also member of the East Bay Park Mounted Patrol and their Mounted Search And Rescue (SAR) group. We (DOC and I) are also on the Contra Costa SAR team. I ride five to six times a week. On the trails I ride western. I also I like skiing in the winter, will go scuba diving any time, (I have my PAD deep water certification). I also have two bicycles and play in a summer softball league. I like to go dancing, have quiet dinners out, and spend time at home with a special lady. You did not have a great love for horses or dogs, just put up my love of them. I will turned 69 in July this of this year (2013), my eyes are blue; I stand around 6ft tall and weight around 220 lbs. My hair is very white (It started turning white when I was fourteen). I was raised Santa Rosa Calif. My heritage is mostly German and English and my religion is Protestant. I retired in 2003 after thirty-eight years with the same company where I was a Computer Network Manager. I also put in 30 years with Army and Air Forces and retired. I have tuxes (A white one and a black one.) for the nights and blue jeans for the days (I like to wear all of them). If I look around I can a find 3 or 4 cowboy hats. I love to have fun. Have, will and do like to travel. I hope this note inspire you take your keyboard in hand write me back. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
