Richard's Story
Life
Hey All,
My life is a journey with no real planned destination -- just stops along the way. I have fished in Alaska, worked in saw mills and put myself through college (I have a BS degree). I was injured on the job in 1983 and spent four years in and out of surgery being rehabilitated from a 19' fall. The injury left me unable to return to construction but that's okay. Now? I am employed with the Department of Fish and Wildife as the assistant wildlife manager on the Cowlitz Wildlife Area. Generally I would consider myself an earthy individual who likes puttering in the garden, going fishing down at the river, mountain biking or hiking into wilderness areas. My newest hobby is geocaching. Basi...Expand for more
cally, people hide things all over the world and using a GPS, geocachers go out and try to find them. It's treasure hunting -- high tech. Basically, I like pursuits that keep me grounded in "earthy" things.
I love to cook. I tolerate getting greasy working on my truck but I'll take olive oil over motor oil any day of the week. However, I'd rather cook for others rather then for myself. Unless of course I am bored and then I may cook just to cook. Well, that's enough about me I suppose and my advice to you, love like it is the first time, dance like nobody is watchin and live like there is no tomorrow! I wouldn't mind reconnecting with friends or, for that matter meeting new ones, so give me a shout.
