Not many guys Posting here however I like the positive upbeat energy of this Board so here goes :
Obviously, from my handle , my name is Jim . I moved down here over 1 year ago from Buffalo , NY . I was a Banker for over 35 years most of it at an Exec. Level [ boring and irrelevant I realize but that was my life 60+ hours a week ].
Been through the pain of a late in life , unanticipated but necessary divorce and have mostly just kept to myself since moving here . More recently I have been slowly getting out and joining Clubs .
I`m a lot more interesting than this intro [ then again maybe not ]. One on one I can be a bit shy at first which is amazing considering that I did a great deal of Public Speaking in my career !
I enjoy and follow most every sport altho ice hockey is my favorite and a life-long passion . " Back in the Day " I actually had the following season tickets all at the same time :
Buffalo Sabres
Buffalo Bills
Buffalo Bisons [ AAA Baseball ]
Buffalo Bandits [ Lacrosse ]
Arena Football
Studio Arena Theater
Sheas Performing Arts Center [ Broadway Theater ]
The Albright Knox Art Gallery
I was active on several Charitable and Cultural Boards . I was assigned by my bank Chairman to work with the General Manager of the Buffalo Sabres when they were going through an extended ownership search and bankruptcy .
I also enjoy history and following current events .
Ironically , I never had many quiet moments until I moved here which I will admit is ridiculous . I would really welcome any opportunity to meet and get to know some new friends, who , like me happen to find themselves single at this stage of life .
Thanks for listening . Jim
