We are a married couple (26 years) who are transitioning to the next chapter as our children leave for college. Our marriage is strong and we are not here to "find something that is missing" or to "take it to the next level". Instead, we are simply here to explore, to possibly make new friends in life, and to share one more experience. Rest assured, if you communicate with one of us, you are communicating with both. At this point, we are not into chat and don't bother asking for pictures as that is not where we are right now. No, the avatar is not us but it does reflect our passion for each other. Later...who knows? Feel free to message us as you like. We don't promise to respond...Lush looks fun but it will not be our obsession. The reality is that we don't do casual, particularly in an online world. On the other hand, if there is a genuine connection made, we could end up friends for life. Not trying to be rude, just honest. We don't have the depth of relationship that we have by being cavalier. With all of that, we wish everyone nothing but the best in life.

Interests
We LOVE exceptional dining experiences, either at home or out. K is a fantastic cook and we take the time to truly enjoy our meals, both in preparing and eating. We have also grown to love a wonderful evening out at a great restaurant, especially anything farm to table and uncompromising. Good wine and liquor go hand in hand with good food. Reading is our national pastime. K also loves gardening and photography. J is all about aviation with a little bit of sailing on the side.

We love our evenings by our pool when we can let the day slip away.

Love the accessibility of the digital format but still have a turntable and vinyl for those moments you want real art in the form of music. It slows it down so you will take the time to listen.
