About Me
I was diagnosed with crohn's disease in Dec.'72.I've had lots of operations, with my last one, June, '03, leaving me with a permanent colostomy. I'm officially single, since last August, after being married for 12 and a half years.No kids.I am a cat lover. Wouldn't mind dating again, but, am fearful that the girl I meet will think I'm some kind of frankenstein or something.
Interests
Computers, PC games, Classic Rock from the 60's and 70's.Hiking, fairs, festivals, flea markets.Good restaurants.Love seafood!
