I'm sincere and down to earth . I try to laugh alot and not take life to serious , I love stimulating conversation on almost any topic . I'm lucky to have had a job that I enjoy , I worked out doors in the telecommunications field for years , also spent 6 years in the USNR . I'm working towards becoming energy independent with a solar PV system and wind turbine , some day maybe an electric car ? I stay in good shape , I work out 2 or 3 times a week , I do a little casual cycling , practice Tai Chi and I'm into eastern philosophy a little bit , I love it's connection to psychology . I'm also into photography and I follow baseball and football real close . I enjoy working on home projects , lately solar and wind turbine projects and wood carving . I spend a lot of time gardening , with tropical plants and 100 or 200 orchids I try to keep alive , and I love animals especially cats . I've been trying to learn Spanish for years , I should be fluent by now but , necesito aprender mas , pero practicondo y estudiando todos dias .
