    Description

    Guitar or Chess? Spend a Little Recreation Time and Then Get Some Chores Done Too

    A local gent who plays southern rock on his guitar and enjoys a good game of online or narrated chess would love to meet you. He is legally blind but enjoys many hobbies and shares his talent with others while he is in college classes. If you don't play guitar or chess, he would also enjoy someone to go for a walk around the suburban neighborhood (no sidewalks here!), do a little shopping for light snacks or even get to the bank occasionally.
