About Me

I'm a semi-educated (BS & MS Science, MFA Ceramics) and well traveled guy. I work in the high tech world and love gadgets. I have a wicked/sarcastic sense of humor and love my bike, books, movies, TV, travel, dining out, and new experiences. I have a patent, have written several books, and numerous magazine articles. I have three adult children, all of whom have graduated from college and are on their own. I'm close to all of them and see them at least once a week. I'm a PC not a Mac guy, I like the Android not the iPhone, but favor my iTouch over a Zune. I have a Nexus 7 tablet and it's running Android 4.2.2. When I see a cheap electronic gadget I usually buy two of them***to have and play with and the other to take apart. I'm the guy who is passing you: "On your left!". At one point I managed to consume 4 root beer floats in just under 7 minutes- I own one car and 3 bikes. I have almost as many bike jerseys as dress shirts. I have started training for Ragbrai ***. Want to join my team? Bike the Drive is coming up shortly!I can usually find something new and interesting to do in the city every week. I just went to the One Of A Kind show, and SOFA on Navy Pier before that. The auto show can entertain. (You can do some pretty crazy things at the auto show.) Lots of summer festivals too.- and sell my designs at the occasional weekend art fair.I'm a romantic at heart and want to find someone who is active and engaging. I want a partner and a connection - intellectually, physically, & emotionally. My partner must be able to laugh at least some of the same things I do, or me. I am looking for someone who has the ability to perceive the absurdity of life and to laugh at themselves (and me when I deserve it). I want an equal partner- not someone who wants me to continually chase after them. We should share the chasing!-**stards, Torpedo Boyz, Gin Wigmore, The Civil Wars, Fritz & the Tantrums, classical, blues, and jazz.Finally, I always see the glass as completely full. Half water and half air is still full to me. So you can see I probably don't think the same way as most other guys. I'm a liberal, atheist, and if you think your religion tells you to hate/shun/condemn gay people- keep on looking somewhere else. (And ask yourself why you don't own any slaves- after all your Bible lays down the rules for owning and treating your slaves.) We each get on separate L trains (different lines) and randomly get off and on until we meet up. Then we walk ***block to the nearest Starbucks where you have coffee and I have tea. After a 3 hour conversation we discover we have both forgotten where the L station is.Or we travel to the nearest "Cash for Gold" store where we pretend we don't speak any language that the store clerk does. We indicate that we want to see the merchandise. Then we offer them cash....

    I'm a funny laid-back sarcastic carefree spirit with a goofy personality. I love to be outside exercise walk run and read. I love to cook as well. Looking for someone who likes to have fun try different things and start with being friends. Not looking for someone to carry on a friendship and or relationship via text message. Oh... Good teeth and eye contact are a plus!!

    . of Irish parents. Lived in Australia for more than 14 years ...Am I a mongrel .. or just confused?I think neither.I believe it's a rich mix that's added to who and what I am. Down-to-earth, honest, genuine and romantic guy. I believe in respect and chivalry! Oh .. and a good laugh! But something is missing. It's probably what's missing in your life: the love of a tender, wonderful human being (female only, of course, from my point of view! I may be confused -- but not that much!!!) I don't pretend to be God's gift to women -- just his gift to my mother. I love adventure and travel -- But why have it any other way! Lots more to tell. Hope we get to chat soon. A flower for you .. a chat .. a coffee, maybe a walk .. and a laugh.

    Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. Please have fairly recent pics mine are. I'm out going, faithful,friendly,trustworthy and a relatively normal guy. LOL I am a hard working family oriented man. I am very easy to get along with and don't like drama in a relationship.I love spending time with my 7 yr old daughter and just hanging out. I am first and foremost a father and would like to be with someone who understands that my daughter is very much a part of my life. I would like to have someone in my life who would enjoy going to the different activities my daughter might be involved in with me. I still have a long way ahead of me helping to raise her. I am looking for someone that's interested in being involved with both of us when she is here with me.I like to cut up laugh and have fun. As for just a few of my interests look at the section above. Its not a complete picture but a sample.I really wont give out my whole life story here it would take too long. I am not scared of taking the time and getting to know someone. We all have pasts that we learn from and move on to make some new special memories. I think its not very realistic to think I can completely get to know someone from a questionnaire on a web site.I am here to find a beautiful lady with a good kind heart and maybe end up spending the rest of our life together. Someone that has a kind of team player mentality and loves being a couple. We are all individuals and have things we like to do individually....but not all the time. Being single is total independence and that is not what I am after. There is nothing greater than a smart intelligent,hard working,lovable and fun women that has goals of her own but also enjoys being together with a man and having a family. Must have a sense of humor and like to have some fun. Also enjoys laughing at life itself sometimes. Someone that can be serious when its time and will work together as a couple on the goals we both want in life. If you wanna know anything else, just shoot me a message and we will go from there. Good luck in your search!Happy Trails!! Some place we can talk,laugh and have a little fun maybe have drinks and dinner. Very Low Key! Casual
