I am recently retired from retail managemnt and am pusuing a career in teaching. Live alone with my Irish setter (who would just love you!). My hobby is writing novels, seeing what's new at the malls. Love a good joke (clean only, please) even if it's played on me. Can't take life too seriously, you know? Pride myself with helping as lot of my former employees through personal problems. Not into the bar scene -- more comfortable in small crowds or on a one-to-one. Looking for a lady who can cook (but I'll handle the BBQ, thank you), likes a clean house and doesn't mind if I join in the daily chores, willing to open up herself to me but not a talk-a-holic (I do like to get a word in occasionally).
