This is a mandatory description and the part everyone says they dislike the most...honking your own horn and putting on airs.

I guess I am just a man with feet of clay. I'm a single father with one son in college and another one who will start soon. I am ready to ship the one back to the dorm right now. It was hard to let him go at first, now it is strange to have him come back and be recalcitrant and mule-ish and so sure that he knows everything. I really shouldn't complain, the chances are good that I was at least this much of a heartache to my parents. What goes 'round, comes 'round.

IT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD TO BE EARLY TO BED AND EARLY TO RISE, BUT IT MAY NOT MADE ME HEALTHY, WEALTHY OR WISE. I want my deposit back.
(I should have found a job that doesn't have me getting up at four in the morning.)

PLEASE NOTE THAT I TRIED TO STOP AT THIS POINT, but I am required to have a longer description to BE EVEN BE ALLOWED TO post my profile, so here goes...

I LIKE TO BE OUTDOORS AS MUCH AS I CAN...OFTEN IN MY SALSA GARDEN WHERE I GROW EVERY INGREDIENT FOR SAME. THEY SAY THE RECIPE has improved over the 20 years I've been working on it. I'll let you be the judge, but is hard to beat fresh.

I LIKE TO CAMP AND HIKE AND TAKE MY CANOE or boat or kayak OUT ON THE RIVERS. I HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO WHITE-WATER RAFT THROUGH THE GRAND CANYON AND TO SHOOT OTHER RAPIDS ON THE COLORADO, BUT THAT IS CERTAINLY NOT SOMETHING I DO EVERY DAY. AND I MAY NOT BE DOING THAT AGAIN ANYTIME SOON SINCE MY KIDS ARE GETTING TOO OLD TO HUMOR MY WHIMS.
