Jim Lindblad, you are cute, cute, cute, no doubt about it! Here we go!

1. I came to Paducah from Oak Ridge, Tenn. My father worked in Huntsville, Ala., where I was born. He got involved in the atomic energy production industry, moved to Oak Ridge, and he came to Paducah when the plant (now USEC) was built. I have been here ever since.
   
   
2. I attended Paducah Tilghman High School, Paducah Junior College, Murray State and the University of Kentucky. After law school, I returned to Paducah and have been here ever since.
   
   
3. I’m a practicing attorney — sole practice. I have a general practice (very diversified). I do a little of everything, from divorces, personal injury, estate work, business litigation, etc.

   I have other lawyers in my building, but I’m by myself. I do not believe in advertising for lawyers. All of my clients are from word of mouth and hopefully my reputation.
   
   
5. I am deeply grateful for all of the people in Paducah and surrounding counties who have thought enough of me to use me as their attorney and their kind expressions about my abilities. I am truly blessed in that regard.
   
   
6. As I mentioned, I love to play golf (though I’m not as good as I once was) and I love to scuba dive. I really enjoy music festivals, especially Blues festivals (New Orleans, Kansas City, Memphis, etc.), and I just love to dance. I really like the oldies but goodies, jitterbug, swing, you name it!
   
   
7. I would love to learn the tango, rumba, foxtrot, salsa and other Latin beat dances. I know just enough about each of them to get by, but we don’t have places to dance them in Paducah. I’m thinking about joining a dance club or finding a good teacher!
   
   
8. I love to travel, especially to the Caribbean, where I have traveled all over. I have two timeshares in Cabo San Lucas and one in Aruba, so I’m there at least once a year.
   
   
9. I also love the western part of the US — Colorado, Arizona, Utah and off the beaten path places. I love to have my friends over at my house. I live in the LowerTown area in a 1880s house that took me four years to completely restore to the way it was when it was built. I am really proud of that accomplishment. I love to show it OFF!
   
   
10. And of course I just love to have friends over. We cook, we sit on the porch and just enjoy our friendship. I have so many good friends that I love, enjoy and like to spend time with. I am very thankful for them all.
    
    
11. I like to attend the Market House Theatre, Carson Center and most all the events that I read about on iList Paducah. I really enjoy wine tasting, wineries, eating out at such places as Max’s, Doe’s, Whalers, Cynthia’s, Sulli’s (formerly B Russell), Martin Fierro’s and any other places that serves good food and has a great atmosphere.
    
    
12. I like to listen to the music, dance, socialize and meet new people at Mother Duncan’s, Fat Moe’s, The Star and sometimes at Whaler’s Catch.
    
    
13. I have two children and five grandchildren whom I love and adore. However they live in Kansas City, Destin and Winslow, Ariz.
    
    
14. I am divorced, and I’m good friends with my ex-wife (first wife died). I have been engaged once, but it did not work out, and I lost one of the loves of my life to breast cancer (so I am a big supporter of breast cancer cures).
    
    
15. I have always maintained friendships with everyone I have had a relationship with, with the exception of a couple. I believe that life is too short to burn bridges with those you have had relationships with. We all need all the friends that we can get, and I strive to do just that.
    
    
16. I am very unpretentious, outgoing, easy to get along with and seldom meet a stranger. I consider myself a Southern Gentleman with manners, and treat people like I want to be treated, with dignity and respect.
    
    
17. I am very high energy and very active, but I do like my sports on TV and in person. I love life and try to enjoy every minute of it.
    
    
18. Life is not a dress rehearsal and we are only going through once, so enjoy it to the fullest extent and have no regrets about for the things you never got around to doing or saying.
    
    
19. I consider myself a fun person, and I like to think that those around me have fun because of my attitude and spirit. I think of myself as having a great sense of humor and I laugh a lot, sometimes at myself. As I like to describe myself, I borrow a quote from Popeye… “I am what I am I is.”
    
    
20. I would like to meet a lady who is attractive (both inside and outside), also unpretentious, intelligent with class and grace, has high morals, is fun loving and adventurous, and prides herself in her appearance. Someone who has no baggage, hang-ups or issues, and someone who isn’t a drama queen. Someone who isn’t looking for a relationship other than one based on truly liking that person and caring about them for who they are, not what they are or what they think they can get.
    
    
21. Outside of that I’m pretty easy to please!
