"If your profile is really lame it won't matter how good your message is."As I sat down to write this new profile and spotted that little nugget of wisdom, another successful Daddy Weekend in the books, a week of promise and change ahead, I was struck. Lame profile? It won't matter? Matter to whom? What am I selling, and who is buying? I almost shelved it in favor of a beer with the boys, or Skyrim and laundry. But I'm nothing if not an optimist, so maybe the right person is out there, on this site or another one like it, ready to take another whirl. And sometimes the search is fun, too. So..."I'm not a smart man, but I know love what love is." And what it isn't. Appreciating (or at least accepting) one's idiosyncrasies as complementary to your own, is. Spending time with someone you have nothing in common with because you're afraid of being alone, not so much. Picking your battles = yes. Putting up with constant BS = no. Walking through a minefield every day? You get the idea.If you're reading this, you're probably a work in progress to one extent or another. I am too. I read, listen, push, run, and pedal, all to hopefully wake up tomorrow a little better than I am today. That said, today I'm, well, pretty decent. I'm kind, thoughtful, wicked funny, and not an idiot. I have a tendency to get out of traffic tickets because the officers appreciate my honesty. I'm not making that up. I'm not perfect, but I'm working at it, and if genes are any indication (height apparently skipped a generation), I've got time. I remember every phone number and address I've ever had, but I misplace my keys/wallet/phone/ID badge at least once a day. I have my own wavelength; it's adjustable up or down depending on the situation, but generally likes to stay where it is. I'm basically fearless, and while kids and the rising cost of health care may have dialed up my risk aversion a little, I'll still try just about anything.Are you active, well-intentioned, and not likely to be jealous of the time I spend with my kiddos? That's a start. The rest, including but not limited to, and in no particular order: articulate, easy smile, open minded, responsible, witty, reasonably honest, outdoorsy, not a raging psychopath. Are you awesome? Fantastic. Awesomer than me? That's okay, I'll catch up."Dig me up from under what is coveringThe better part of me." Nothing that involves meeting at a park for a kids' play date. The last time I did that, my son got in a fight.

To sum it all up I like the outdoors, watch sports, especially hockey, and enjoy going out whether it's dinner, movies, or a drink. I was a professional athlete so I look for someone who takes care of their body, likes the outdoors, and just appreciates and respects what I do. I have a son and daughter who are very active in sports and it consumes most of my time. I always wear a smile and very easy going guy. Have dinner, movies, or go for a coffee.
