Still learning, after all these years

English

I Would Describe Myself As

I'm quiet, but can be drawn out. Try to figure out what's going on under the surface. A loner, in a lot of ways. I've been widowed about a year. I'm a retired teacher, living on a budget. I've taught all age levels, especially middle school. I've been a bureaucrat, a tree trimmer and an insurance agent, besides teaching. I like brain games (cards, chess, sudoku, etc.) Ocean cruising's ok, I like river cruising better.

Cleverness and intricacy fascinate me, more so than beauty or popularity. I like order, but I can be a little messy myself. I like doing new things, but take comfort in what I recognize. I want to learn more abt hobbies, like investment casting, and jewelry making. I'm flexible, but can be a little set in my ways. I love learning new stuff, but value the old.

I'm not sure where I'm going, exactly, but I'm looking for a partner to share the journey.

I'm not in a hurry here, but don't want to dawdle, either. If you'd like to talk, drop me a line.

I've Always Wanted To Try
