Mr_Ackerbill: Seeking to give and receive warm snuggles on cold nights south Metrowest, MA, Mass

First, let me be frank here… this photo of me was taken in 1993, so I’ve become a bit more grizzled (not chiseled), and I’ve got some gaps ‘twixt my teeth lately that don’t show here (gaps I said, not missing teeth!) And there be some gray fillin out my broom, too. Some have pigeonholed me as a starving artist, but that’s really not accurate. (Boomers have no concept of what starvation is, and that’s part of why men of our era are so damn soft.) Living efficiently so I can enjoy freedom… is my game.

I baby the Jeep Cherokee (my one frill) so it’ll keep up on those long jaunts to the Cape and on those beautiful & wistful Islands, and to the woods of N.H. and Maine. But I especially enjoy the trail bike… I can peddle it into the wind and see creation from a more leisurely, natural point of view (great exercise for the heart muscle, too). A few years ago I noticed I’ve got a gut hapnin. Excuse me! I enjoy a stogie and a brew on occasion without feeling guilty about it, so sue me. I’m mid 40’s, seeking a lady who longs for a gent who exhibits no fear when it comes to stating his point of view and who fiercely defends those under his wing. There has been a magnificent void in my life for too many years. How nice it would be to fill this emptiness with a clean & sober, sensitive feminine spirit. In closing... I'm aware that there's lotsa hurt feelins goin on out there in the dating scene (part'a life). I'll be your friend in any case, even if the mut
