I enjoy many different things and types of music. One of the things I enjoy most is travelling and I try to get in a couple of trips a year if possible. I enjoy exploring new areas where I have not been before, learning about the local history and culture of the area and trying some of the local cuisine. I also enjoy walking, hiking, bicycling, kayaking, swimming, sailing, fishing, and on and on. I have completed a few half marathons (well behind the Kenyans) but I consider them a success because I finished and my goal is to better my record each time I do one. Wow, it has been awhile since I have had one of these. I think simply doing something that we both enjoy and feel comfortable with. Lord knows we will be nervous enough about meeting someone new.Maybe having a drink or a bite to eat near the beach. Taking a hike up in the mountains. Having a nice dinner and catching a concert or movie. Going kayaking and laughing at each other as we fall in the water. There are so many fun things to do, and they are usually much better when you are with someone else that you care about.

I want to be loved the way that I want to love…deeply, intensely and for the rest of my life. I want to be with someone that makes my heart skip a beat when she walks in the room. I want to be so connected that it wouldn’t matter if we were on a beautiful beach in Southern France or pulling weeds in the front yard. I have 4 kids and I love them to death (boys ***, girls ***. Even though they either live on their own or with their mom, they are a big part of my life. If you have kids, I would expect the same of you and I would expect that we could treat each other’s kids as our own.I love to ski, golf, ride bikes, spend time at the beach and travel. If you like to do these things too, that would be good to know. I also love to study American history, especially the wars. I believe the best in people comes out in the worst of times and this is so greatly illustrated by great people during war time…from the generals, to the soldiers, to the families that sacrificed. I love learning how people rise up during very difficult circumstances and how they found a better way.I love people. If you hang around me, you will find I treat everyone with respect. Doesn’t matter if it is the server at the restaurant, the maid at the hotel, the homeless guy at the end of the off-ramp the CEO that I am trying to do business with or the stranger on the street. Everyone is someone…someone’s son or daughter, someone’s brother or sister, someone’s mom or dad, and I think everyone deserves to be treated well.Life is short…it’s time to live deep. This world is a big place and I am ready to go exploring. Are you up for the journey? For me, the first date is more about the person than what we do on the date itself. It is a great time to see if there is any chemistry and if there is something worth pursuing. I don't care if it is coffee at Starbucks at 10:00 in the morning or a nice dinner at my favorite sushi restaraunt. Now the second date and beyond...that's a different story.

How can a man adequately describe himself in something as one dimensional as the written word? There is so much that goes into a person and how he makes another feel that are difficult to express with a keyboard. While I am no E. L. I am as comfortable dressed up, walking through a downtown urban area of a major city in search of fine dining as I am trekking off trail through the mountains searching for prey. I can, and do, enjoy both equally and would be sad if I were to find out I had to give one of those activities up for good. I am equally at ease playing and roughhousing with a group of preschoolers as I am hotly debating the technical merits of a lawsuit with high powered attorneys. While I enjoy both, I only argue with attorneys for profit, but will roughhouse with children for the laughter and sheer joy of it. I am as skilled at repairing automobiles and houses, or chopping wood or growing a garden as I am at preparing a lecture on physics or engineering ethics. I have been fortunate in that I have been able to travel though most of the lower 48 states and several countries. I have traveled both for business and for pleasure and intend to do a lot more of both. I believe something is missing in the modern American man. I was brought to age by men who were shaped by the great depression and WWII and who had an older view of what men were supposed to be like. I believe that men should be strong, compassionate and gentle, willing to make decisions based on a consideration of who they are with. I will therefore never show up for a date and ask “what would you like to do.” If you have ever seen the movie second hand lions, I had men like the uncles influence me and I hope when I am that age I will be a lot like both of them. While I do have an earned black belt in a martial art and maintain a level of physical fitness, I have learned that women like a man who makes them feel safe and who can make them laugh. Now that I have my career in a good place I plan on beginning work on becoming a clown Ninja to expand my social options.The use of deadpan in humor is one of my favorite tactics and sometimes it takes my college students months to get a clue as to when I am serious or not. I tend towards playful sarcasm. It may be out of control, my own mother once bought me a shirt that said “Sarcasm is just another free service I provide.” My own mother!As I look back over this, I cringe at the fact that many of my paragraphs begin with “I”. But, after all this is supposed to be where I tell you about me to see if I can *** bit of interest. I have been privileged to get acquainted with many single people and know what I am looking for. I am looking for an engaging and well spoken woman who enjoys talking about her passions and interests; a woman who is comfortable in varied environments and enjoys new experiences. I have learned that for me, chemistry is a combination of physical attraction and the ability to converse and relate in a manner that there is a mental/emotional connection. I'm looking for that hard to describe chemistry mixed with compatibility that most of us are seeking. somewhere we could look in each others eyes, talk and see if we can establish an emotional and mental connection
