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 am compassionate and charitable, a very giving person. I love making people laugh. Tho I dont make stuff up. I'm a completely honest person, not into games or drama. I also like to spend time in the kitchen, preparing delicious meals for any who care to eat. Lol First date? Something casual for sure. Lunch? Bowling? The beach? Something where we could both be ourselves and be free of time constraints or other imagined pressures. That would make it possible to learn more of your likes and dislikes and enable me to suggest a mostagreeable 2nd date.

    Looking for: woman. In age: 49-59

    I consider myself a gentleman first and for most and have always lived life by the motto work hard and play hard. I can be pretty laid back at times, open-minded and am just as comfortable going out to a show or a nice dinner on the weekend as I am staying in and watching a movie or playing board games. I believe in treating a woman with care, dignity and respect. I know what I want and I am always up for a challenge. I love music modern, classic, rock, pop, jazz, blues, to Bocelli….just about anything. Consider myself sociable, enjoy entertaining and being around people but also cherish alone time with that special lady. My favorite saying is “everything happens for a reason” and that’s how I've learnt to live my life. I don’t dwell on what could have been, no point in wasting time, we are here for a short time, not a long time so have a good time the sun doesn't shine everyday! People usually notice my confidence, outgoing personality, quick wit and humor. I am passionate about my family; enjoy the outdoors, wine tasting, traveling, working out, sports, good friends, laughter and not accepting the status quo are all very important to me. My friends would describe me as compassionate, affectionate, romantic and driven to succeed. I am most thankful in life for my two amazing kids, close friends and lessons learned. I can easily adapt to different social settings...business, formal or can kick back to the very casual. I appreciate a balance in life and am able to take challenges in stride, while maintaining a positive attitude. I have a few friendships that I cherish and I'm content with my life as it is but would love to find that needle in the haystack. I believe the important things in life money can't buy like a kind gesture, a complement, a caress, a soft lingering kiss, a body warming hug, holding hands or looking deeply into each other's eyes. ABOUT YOUMy ideal match would be someone who is compassionate, affectionate, fun and romantic with a terrific sense of humor. Life can be way too hectic, serious so we need to be aware of and enjoy the little things each and every day unconditionally. I would like to meet a special lady who doesn't mind what we do as long as we're together. A woman who likes to explore new places and things but one who is also content to sometimes snuggle in front of a fire or watch a good movie. You anticipate an intimacy that starts with that stolen kiss, the brush of the hand, that full body hug that lingers. You are fun loving, mischievous, romantic, passionate, imaginative, self-confident, and true to yourself, that's sexy. You have a lust for both life, love and you can trigger that feeling in the pit of my stomach with just one kiss. I need passion in my life, don't you?What I've Learned from past relationships is that communication is imperative, laughter is essential and no one is perfect, just be yourself. Live for the moment, make time for important people in your life and do it every day as there is no telling what tomorrow will bring into your life. Let's talk first and then mutually decide.

    Looking for: woman. In age: 51-61

    I am a laid back musician/songwriter who has been divorced for ten years. I am looking for someone to date with the goal of something that would grow and become a lasting relationship. I have a good sense of humor and love to laugh. It would be great to find someone who wants the same things in a relationship and really wants to grow into it and where accepting one another is a two way street ... Something simple like Coffee, a casual dinner or movie....
