I enjoy turning wrenches, ratchets and screwdrivers and after using my skills beneath my potential I found my calling in the elevator trade. Then the economy tanked...but I will get back there again. In the meantime I erect notable monuments with tinker toys. Since they cannot take down a horse I guess they settle for the next best thing. It sure keeps 'em quiet.I am a rabid football fan; But my real passion is music. I have a good ear for rock and have played guitar for many years. Unfortunately one cat has expressed his opinion of my playing with his bladder...I think a quick wit, sarcasm and the ability to crack wise about one's self are good ways to ease into or out of a potentially awkward situation, depending on the company. But my social graces do not rely on humor alone. I really do not care for the generic answers to the above questions as they are too impersonal. A self description should not be a multiple choice, high school scan-tron test. How about fill in the blank? Oh I remember...this is the essay. If I may be so assuming as to grade myself on a curve I would go with a B+. On a straight line I think I will be repeating the course. I just do not think some romance coach is a good idea, as I have a good command of the english language and am honest to a fault and redundance will send the mouse cursor upward left to the back arrow like a Ouija pointer to the no on it's board. Or is yes up that way? I should be so lucky. Glad I do not remember...I am not nor have ever been given to casual relationships and do not seek the " hook up " thing. A simple correspondence will make for a good start. I enjoy making folks laugh and hope I can do so for someone special. I never cared much for the word " DATE " as it's definition is socially implied. Compatability is established by common interests and values, not by lavish dinners at resteraunts with bad service and worse menus, nor movie theatres with overpriced, watered down sodas and the previous night's popcorn.

I am not the best at the whole "who am I" thing, but I figure it is worth giving it a try. It is easier to talk about my kids then myself, so...staying in my comfort zone...I have two boys ages 21 and 16 who I am very proud of. My oldest graduated from High School a few years ago, and my youngest is in high school. Both are/were active in sports and it has always been very important for me to attend as many of their activities as possible, while still allowing them to maintain some independence. They are both great kids who I can't imagine not being there for or having them around.Professionally, I am a third grade teacher in a economically diverse school. Many of my students are from good stable homes, many are not. I love them all and try to provide them with a stable environment that encourages them to take risks, make mistakes, and know that they are cared for and valued for who they are and what they can accomplish regardless of their background. I became a teacher later in life after spending 12 years working as a paralegal. I am a firm believer in the saying "if you love what you do, you will never work another day in your life". I found that in my teaching career.As far as my personal life, I am looking for someone I can talk to, trust, laugh with, and share experiences. I believe relationships are built on trust and strengthened by commitment because two people care enough about each other to always consider their partner in what they say and do. I am not perfect, I make mistakes, but I try to own my mistakes, learn from them, and not make them a second time. I think this depends entirely on the person I am having a first date with! If we have mutual interests, the setting should be somewhere we are both comfortable, can talk, and start to get to know each other. If I had to pick a "generic" date, it would probably start in a coffeehouse, from there dinner at a restaurant that is not too loud and allows us an opportunity to continue getting to know each other. I think the first stop (the coffeehouse) lends itself to a first impression, from there, if a connection exists, then dinner is a natural progression.
