Living in the mountains and love it here. Ski over 50 days year. When the snow is gone time to jump on the mountain bike. Born and raised in California and hung at the beach. Still surf when I get the chance. Have traveled a good piece of the world. Do not have time to work for someone else, as I have no time for pc bs. . If I'm not working, skiing or some other physical activity, then it is movies, dining out, cooking or seeing friends.

Would like to meet someone who has the same idea of "I have been there, I have done that, some was good, some was bad, some just was, I would damn near do it all again. Every day life has a lesson, every day life has at least something to smile and feel thankful about. Good friends, good food and kind animals make you smile"

That someone needs to know life is short and tomorrow is promised to no one. Need to live life with passion, humor and not take themselves too seriously. Romance, kind words and affection are meant to keep life fresh and smiles on our face; not be chore. And laughter truly is medicine for the soul.

Unless you have an extraordinary gift and that does include just being human, you will work, study, practice and you will do it over and over and see positive but you will fail, being able to go again is what makes a difference. You will experience joy, sadness, elation and frustration. Then one day you will get a good taste of results from your determination and you will say "it was worth all the effort".
