Almost 50 on Chicago's near north side. Married mor ethan 20 years, kids grown, now widowed. Succesful private investor, homes in Minnesota, and Southern California, as well as on the Chicago lakefront. Varied interests from computing to Ham Radio, to boats of all sorts, to Chinese cuisine. Enjoy cooking. No hangups -- admit that learned more about love from having my heart broken by a six foot MTF transexual who knew more about the heart than anyone I ever knew. No more energy left to fake things. Enough money not to need fakes.
