About Me
Hi! Let me tell you a little about myself.I enjoy live music. I like jazz (especially tenor sax, especially bebop -- I've never heard anything John Coltrane did that I didn't like), rock, blues, some classical music. I recently heard a live jazz violin for the first time, and it was great! I like bluegrass, but otherwise can't tolerate most country music.I enjoy movies, comedy, theater and festivals when they aren't too crowded.I like wine tastings, ethnic food, and fine dining. When I dine out, I enjoy finding a dish I've never had. I tend to eat healthfully, for the most part, but I'm not a purist. I've been a vegetarian in the past, and I can still enjoy vegetarian food, but these days I'm fairly carnivorous.I drink wine and beer socially.I like to travel when I can, but most of my recent travel has been for business.I'm not a sports fanatic, but I like going to an occasional game. I do like to watch soccer and loosely follow the US National Team. I played soccer (badly) and officiated it (reasonably well) and my son coaches soccer. I like to stay active -- I work out 5 days a week, running and lifting weights. I like to bicycle, though I haven't done it in quite a while. I like hiking and any activity that involves walking outside. Spiritually, I'm drawn to Zen Buddhism, and I meditate.I like conversation about ideas. I enjoy discussing politics, history, science, human nature, spirituality.Right now I want to date and have some fun. In the long run, I am looking for a real, long-term relationship based on attraction, communication and the enjoyment of the interplay of our personalities. If we've never met in person, I'd like to meet informally for a cup of coffee, tea, or something stronger and talk.If we want to go on a real date after that, I think dinner at a nice restaurant with a quiet atmosphere would be the best next step. If that goes well, we can discuss something more interesting for the next date.
