More than anything I want to find some friends that I can be myself with – and since we all share such an important part of ourselves in common here, that’s pretty much taken care of itself!  So bring it on!

I’ll tag along for almost anything – (although I’m not so good at sports and I don’t like to work up a sweat…) – but I don’t expect much: I’d be just as happy watching ”Nailed It” on Netflix in PJ’s as I would be in some expensive seat at a stadium or theater.  And I’d be really happy just chatting through texts or E-mails or messages, too!

But what I want most is permission to touch you – (nothing crazy – we’re all Aces here, after all!).  But a hug or a backscratch or squeeze of your hand would win a lot of points in my book!  Heck!  I’d be happy enough just sitting at your feet and watching you play video games for hours on end!  (Confession: lately I’ve been way too busy (and tired) to play video games myself, so I’ve been watching ”Let’s Play’s” and ”Long Play’s” on YouTube…  I just can’t imagine how much more exciting it would be LIVE and in person! ; D  Or rather, how much more exciting it WILL be!  Right?)

In any case, age doesn’t matter so much to me, but I do hope you’re taking care of yourself and are healthy.  And I’m really open to different points of view, (and would never dream of pushing my beliefs onto anybody else), but it needs to be okay with you that I’m pretty spiritual and won’t compromise on my own convictions – (not that any Aces would pressure their fellows to do so!).  However, I really DO enjoy DISCUSSING different viewpoints and learning about others’ different opinions.

And of course, it doesn’t hurt if you’re handsome.

But you better not smell bad.

; D

PS – You know…  Loving, caring, kind, affectionate, talented, intelligent, witty, funny, etc…  That’s all important, too.  But I think, as Aces, that applies to ALL of us, so I’m just going to take all of that for granted.  ; )

Hi Everybody!  You know what?  ”I love cats!  I love every kind of cat!”  LOL

And if you get THAT reference, then we’re gonna be fast friends!  If not, no problems, it was silly and ”ain’t nobody got time for that” anyway!  ; D

But seriously, I’m ”a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma,” (I just can’t stop doing it!)  – even to myself!

~ Sometimes I take life waaay too seriously, but I also have a great sense of humor and can be spontaneous and silly.

~ I’m really happy curled up with a good book or clutching a PlayStation remote (or a Wiimote!  (Don’t have a Switch yet…  ; (  )) or watching a movie, but I also love to be outdoors: hiking or camping or looking at the stars.

~ My OWN grammar is really important to me – (note the ”))” above!) – but other peoples’ mistakes don’t bother me a bit.  (Did you catch the misplaced apostrophe?  That hurt.  ; }  )

~ I like to cook and I like to EAT – but I try to fast twice a week to help bring peace to the whole world.  (Speaking of spirituality: I pray a lot, but it seems like the more I pray, the more I NEED to pray – because I find more parts of myself that just aren’t done yet!)

~ My favorite movies run the range from ”The Joy-Luck Club,” ”The Help,” and ”Chocolat” to ”The Lord of the Rings” and ”Harry Potter” and ”Gods of Egypt.”  And I’m always down for a good scary movie, too!  Same with TV series: ”The Simpsons” and ”The Office” to ”Downton Abbey” to ”Star Trek: the Next Generation” to ”Vikings” and ”The Tudors” to ”Merlin,” ”Smallville” and ”Lost.”  …  And I guess it’s the same with BOOKS, too!  Stephen King to ”Outlander” to the ”Game of Thrones” series to my all-time favorites: anything ”For Dummies”!  ; D

~ I love to MAKE music, but I don’t listen to a whole lot of it (except for video game soundtracks.  Wow!).

~ I’m a really good listener, but I also love to share stories and tell jokes.

~ I’m an Ace through and through like all of us here, but I really want to reach out and touch somebody… BUT I’m not upset if I’m not touched back in return.

~ And I DO like cats, (I have two rescues of my own!), but I think in a past life I must have been a dog – or a squire to some medieval knight – because I really want to be somebody’s sidekick and little brother.

(Speaking of: looks like, as I draw closer to FORTY, I’m on the older end of members here, but… I sure don’t LOOK it!  ; D  And I certainly don’t ACT it!  So I don’t want any of my younger Bros to be afraid to reach out and befriend me.  I’ll be glad you did!)

(And how might you do that?  Easy!  Pick your favorite way: 1) Private message me right here!,  2) Send an E-mail to elkhartrob@gmail.com, (Yep.  I live in ”the city with a heart.”  Ahhh…),  3) Find me on Skype at Rob Lenrick,  4) Teach me how to use Kik or Smoosh or Zipzup or whatever else comes along or 5) Send me an OWL!  Or a CANDYGRAM!

In any case, GET IN TOUCH!  I paid good money for a full membership here and it’d be a shame to waste it – and waste an opportunity to forge a new friendship.  Right?  RIGHT!

Talk to ya soon?  I sure hope so!

(PS – I’ve got some GREAT cover photo pics of Amistad National Park I wish I could use here… but this text I’m writing in is WHITE and it disappears over my images!  So someday you’ll just have to sit through a THREE HOUR TOUR of my favorite campground in America.  Or we can just go together in person!)
