I never could understand how a person could decide which few words to write about themselves; people are much deeper than that. Anyhow, I'm an avid swimmer. I enjoy working in my garden. I write poetry and short stories. I'm the kind of person that believes that action speaks louder than words. I'm down to earth, and, even though I appreciate the simple things in life, I also enjoy the finer things also. Looking For: There are certain things I look for in a partner (yes, I'm interested in a long term relationship). The first thing that impresses me is good communication skills. A man who is confident, not arrogent, will always bring a smile across my face.
