CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy this short intermission between eternities by being a friend to myself, my fellow man and dogs

ABOUT ME

We are a professional long term male couple who live in South Florida, USA. Buckley, the Havanese, (pictures - http://s126.photobucket.com/albums/p108/ricreily/Buckley/ ) lives with us and keeps us alerted to every change and visitor and also keeps us entertained and helps bring out happiness in most everyone.Our life is preferably quiet, though when my family decends on the place... In free time we travel, mostly to a major city, rent a car and explore. We also have a fully self contained fifth wheel trailer to travel at our leisure and be able to take Buckley along. Can we park overnight at your place?

PHILOSOPHY

When you look back, look again; life is too short to endure negatives. There is never enough, go with what you have. Marriage is for living, civil unions are for dying.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

.
A former member of the recently disbanded New Member Welcome Team greeting newly signed up CouchSurfers. Now you get an automated message instead of a personal one from a seasoned CS'r. The world moves one more step to robotron.

Couchsurfing Ambassador

Moderator for the RV & CampSurfer Group, a group for those who travel by RV, trailer, van, camper or tent, or want to.

We have met some wonderful, interesting and varied people via CouchSurfing. Rarely a day goes by without a conversation with someone in some far off place who speaks English as a second, or third or fourth language, and I am reminded how small a place we all live. The world comes to us through CouchSurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

There are some stories! Most are great, some are good. One is a doozie; I'll tell you about that one when we meet.

Have a large library of gay genre; history, fiction, biographies, plays, poems and short stories. The collection dates from the 1940's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed high mountains, rafted roaring rivers, skied an avalance (or two), road raced bicycles, remade myself (at least once), elected to public office, met a life partner, and found a dog who wants to follow me around.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know about money; its aquisition, its ability to flow uncontrolled and how to learn to control it, its accumulation to create wealth, its use and purpose. Just ask, and then try and shut me up!
