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 like to be active and have fun by getting outdoors and engaging in both summer and winter recreational activities. Fitness and a healthy lifestyle is important to me. I like to travel and experience new things. I'm looking for someone who is:energetic, has similar interests (but not a clone), is confident in knowing who they are and what they want out of life, ie. self aware, intellectual, fun and silly, emotionally and socially intelligent. I am financially stable and I expect the same of my significant other.I believe that two people connect when they hold the same values and beliefs. It's a starting point. Differences should come into consideration and spice up the relationship after there is congruence in values and beliefs.Completely open communication is the key to any type of successful relationship. Of course this concept must be accepted by both people! I like to see the lighter side of life, find humour in most things and not sweat the small stuff. I like to share a laugh with people, whether it be a stranger or a best friend. It's a great way to connect.If my profile interests you, let's have a live phone conversation. I'd rather hear LOL, than read it.

    I love the game of golf and try to find time to play when weather permits. I recently returned to the US after a period of time overseas related to my job in the oil and gas business. And I would welcome another opportunity to return to an international assignment, with a partner this time to share the adventure!I have a musical background and sing and play the piano-- classical mostly but I can hammer out some good love songs from the wonderful musicals of old. I can see retirement in the not too distant future and I want to find someone to share that adventure with!I love a good wine, cooking and great music.I come from a large, close knit family and feel that is what this life is really all about. I'm looking for that closeness in a relationship. Meet for coffee or drinks and take it from there. The First Date destination will be a joint decision based on our conversations concerning our likes and dislikes....
