"Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple, or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking , and nothing is superfluous".
Leonardo da Vinci


My life has had some unusual twists and turns and my family and friends have told me that my life reads like a novel or a movie script. I think that all the scenario's I have experienced have been thru chance or fate. I am still reflecting on this.

I love art and think I could spend many months camped out inside the Louvre Museum just studying the masterpieces within its walls.


I have read books all my life and read many types of books from the Classics to science fiction, books on theology, art books, biographies the list goes on and on.


I live simply and only acquire what I need.


I do not have a desk job because sitting at a desk all day would drive me bonkers.


I love animals and dogs are my favorite. I urge people to adopt pets from animal shelters or contribute in some way to help pets and wildlife.


I enjoy most forms of music and tend to listen to rhythm and blues and soul music. Classical music I always appreciate.

I love the outdoors and prefer to walk and hike with my dog for exercise.

I am not on Mingle to date but instead enjoy the forums and I have found some positive, intelligent and humorous people on the forums. I look for people that are upbeat, down to earth, and are trying in a positive way to cope with this very crazy world we live in.
