I'm an older man, but those years have yielded maturity, wisdom; I am a man who is more patient, kinder, and more gentle for his experiences.Do not misinterpret the foregoing description as "boring." At the risk of immodesty, my sense of humor, childlike and fresh, droll and deadpan, is my most endearing quality. I like to be challenged, intellectually and physically. I like to experience new things. I like to learn new perspectives and viewpoints. You will also find me, at times, introspective, unassuming, stoic, and strong-minded. I do not make important decisions lightly, I am open-minded and willing to consider various points of view, and I am not so small that I am unwilling to change my mind when circumstances warrant.
