About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live more than 100 years in good health, good spirit and enjoying every moment of my life

ABOUT ME

He's a 70 yr old retired Black American male, single and educated,who loves talking to interesting people. He is youthful in spirit and stride...and on a good day can pass for early to mid fifties. He's had a full life and has traveled extensively...loves to share ideas and listen to the ideas of other. He enjoys problem solving and encouraging others. You could consider him eccentric at times...likes being different and mysterious.

PHILOSOPHY

Love God, love myself and others,but not in a typical religious way. I can be visionary,imaginative and creative and enjoy being affirmed when I do a good job of it. Pretty modest in my personal life,but would like to experience what it's like to be wealthy...Yep, filthy rich.
WHATEVER...IT'S ALL GOOD.
