Hello to all.

Here's hoping everyone's holidays were happy and joy-filled. If you spent a lonely holiday, consider writing to me. I prefer men 48 years to 65 years old, and intelligent, kind, and thoughtful men are always appreciated.

I enjoy romantic vacations and food from around the world. I especially like spicy Mexican and Oriental dishes. Do you? If not, what do you prefer? Do you golf, hunt, swim, ride horseback, or are you interested in martial arts? If you love history and archaeology, so do I. Is the current political scene exciting enough to comment on? Well, write me and let me know.

If you are recovering from a broken heart, recently divorced, or widowed, pour your heart-felt emotions to someone who will not judge you, but someone who will lend a sympathetic ear.

If you are athletic and love animals, so do I and I'd love to compare notes: cats, dogs, and horses!!

If you still haven't found your soulmate, maybe you should take a chance on a penpal relationship. Maybe love could blossom between us, open up a little.

I've never been married and have no children. I am artistic and, of course, caring and nurturing. Please send a photo of yourself smiling and looking in to the camera. Thanks.
