Hi -- Well, I'm recently single so I'm going to create this profile and make it as accurate as possible. I'm a more or less retired computer engineer who now owns his home and acreage outright and doesn't have wildly extravagant habits, so I'm able to earn what I need in my copious amounts of spare time. I have a lot of hobbies - I'm a gardener (I have a large greenhouse too), a musician (although I don't play in public much any more), I read a lot, I spend time following and chatting about politics, I manage a flea market on weekends and much much more! (there's a prize in the box) I'm going to have to date for a while before I find someone to spend more of my life with, so don't expect anything really serious up-front. I mean, I'm the most serious when I'm kidding! (just kidding) There's a time to be serious and a time not to be serious - and this is neither one of those times... I don't expect that you'll be able to know me by this profile because after all, everyone's life is a book and you'll need to leaf through my pages, dog-ear a few, underline some special pages and write a nasty letter to the editor complaining about the filthy content that no child should be exposed to and how the author is clearly demented, out of his mind and should be committed to an insution. Send me a message and we can chat. That will help both of us learn more than these profiles can possibly say and maybe even we can meet for a drink or coffee if we seem like someone we'd take home to meet our mothers. I live just outside of McKinney in the country where the coyotes eat my cats. Thanks! Bob ps. I'm Bob and I approved this message....bk
