Good morning! When I started meeting women, I never knew how much of an impact they would have on me. Three years ago today, I met a woman who was really kind & encouraging to me. Meeting her has always stayed with me & I hope to see her again soon. Have a marvelous Monday!

Good morning! High winds knocked over some trees leading to a loss of power at 4 a.m. Just a rough start to the weekend. All the ice & snow the last two weekends, but wind knocks the power out today. Thankfully, service was restored just after 8 a.m. Have a spectacular Saturday!

Good morning! It's been a rough couple of days at work. The day I leave this job in 2026, you'll know it because I'm going to be celebrating. My consolation for this tough week is that the weekend is here & there's no snow or ice in the forecast. Have a fantastic Friday!

Good morning! Three years ago, I made my 1st solo trip west of the Mississippi River to Las Vegas. I'll never forget seeing the sunrise at the bridge next to the Hoover Dam on my way to the west rim of the Grand Canyon. More photos coming from that trip. Have a terrific Tuesday!

Good morning! The snow is still here, but the big meltdown starts today...hopefully. I'm missing those 70-degree days. The calendar has turned to February & I know those days are close. Still, I wish they were here now...along with baseball season. Have a marvelous Monday!

I agree with all of this. Nothing against my blonde & brunette friends, but redheads are my weakness.

The one picture I've never been good at taking is the one of myself (yes, I know the term is selfie). This is one of my best & I wanted that covered bridge in the background.

Good morning! I'm still not a fan of snow, but it can make great photos. This local landmark with a snowy backdrop is a rare photo I've always wanted to take. When the opportunity presents itself, you should take advantage of it. I'm glad that I did. Have a sensational Sunday!

To my friends in the desert of Las Vegas, who are enjoying the next few days in 70-degree weather while it's snowing like crazy here in the Carolinas: words cannot describe how jealous I am of you. This Southern gentleman is not built for this kind of weather.

Good morning! Well...it looks like Round Two of winter weather in the Carolinas is coming starting tonight into tomorrow morning. The results of the previous winter storm hasn't completely melted yet & here comes more snow. I can't wait for winter to end. Have a fantastic Friday!

Good morning! The biggest thing that everyone should remember when going through some tough times is that they don't last forever. While it may seem like forever to get through them, things will settle down. Just move forward & take it 1 day at a time. Have a tremendous Thursday!

Good morning! One thing I've learned as an adult is accepting the responsibility of my actions. If you're wrong & know it, you need to admit it. Not everyone is going to be forgiving & I accept that. When someone does give you that gift, cherish it. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Good morning! There are times when you have to face the decisions that you make. Decisions, whether they are good or bad, have consequences. They can have short-term and/or long-term effects. Keep that in mind before you act. Have a terrific Tuesday!

A simple tip for those guys looking to make initial contact: read before you type. Read the ad and read the website. What a woman is looking for in that introductory email lies within those things. It shows that you paid attention & can follow instructions. Trust me. It helps.

Good morning! I didn't want to say something yesterday but now that the weather has passed, my area was very fortunate. There was not nearly as much snow & ice as there was predicted to be. Thankfully, the power has stayed on. I hope you are doing well. Have a marvelous Monday!

This might be the one photo that I wish you could see my face. Just know that I have perhaps the best smile I've ever had in a photo. It was a happy moment being at my first NHL game. Plus, it came after meeting a great, new friend the night before. I need more of this in 2026.

Good morning! The weather weekend that no one in the Carolinas wanted is here. Over the next 48 hours, an ice storm is expected to drop up to an inch of ice, which will cause power outages. I hope that everyone stays safe & avoids the roads. Have a spectacular Saturday!

Good morning! Even when you know something is coming, you don't know the impact it's going to make until it happens. It could be easier than you think it will be or it might be worse. Either way, preparation is always the key to getting through it. Have a fantastic Friday!

Good morning. For a friend: when someone passes away, they are only gone in body. You keep their spirit & memory alive by remembering the good times with them, how they laughed & the bond you shared. They are always with you as long as you do these things. Have a great day.

For any woman who is thinking about traveling to the Carolinas this weekend: change or cancel your plans. Winter Storm Armageddon is coming and most places don't know how to react to this weather. To my friend who decided to go to Clearwater FL this weekend: just know that I'm very, very jealous.

Good morning! It can be frustrating when the results doesn't match the effort. All of us work hard to achieve success. Failure shouldn't stop us from continuing to push forward. Just stay focused on the goal. You'll get to where you want to go. Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Good morning! I'm having a hard time describing just how great my first NHL game was. The crowd, the speed of the game & the Hurricanes winning made it so perfect. My Raleigh trip could not have gone any better. I'm looking forward to the next trip. Have a terrific Tuesday!

Good morning! What a day yesterday! I drove to Raleigh NC & ran into some pretty good snowfall along the way. Later that evening, I met a new friend for the first time. It was an amazing experience. Today, it's my first NHL game. Man, I feel good. Have a marvelous Monday!

Finding out a woman's favorite color is something I like to do before I see her, especially for a first-time meeting. The reason: wearing something with a color she likes leaves a good impression. It shows that you read her website and/or profile. Little things always matter.

Good morning! With as cold as it has been here lately, I had to post a photo from when I lived in North Carolina. It snowed several times during my 3 1/2 years there. I'm glad that I moved back to South Carolina where snow is a rare occurrence. Have a spectacular Saturday!
