About me: CHAPTER 1 - ME
In myself & others, I seek/value being genuine, loyal, dependable, positive, spiritual, intuitive & witty. Some interests--TRAVEL; music from Indie Pop to Pavarotti (never rap or AIR SUPPLY-cringe); theatre; concerts (not rock); TRAVEL; comedy clubs; the ocean; scuba diving; TRAVEL; deep sea fishing; sushi; TRAVEL; auctions; flea markets; TRAVEL; prolonged book store visits; Starbucks; TRAVEL; imaginative, creative, eccentric people; gardening.... Oh, did I mention TRAVEL? I am fascinated by other cultures & their traditions/history. Exposure breeds understanding/tolerance. I despise "touristy" travel, preferring the local point of view. All body parts are mine & functioning properly. Require only preventative maintenance.

THE BAD: Low tolerance for pretentious, self-righteous people. I lose my cell phone. I'm genetically predisposed to being a fire hazard in the kitchen. I sing in the shower. I stop on the highway to relocate at-risk turtles. I can't function in the morning until I've had a cup of coffee... ... ... ... .. ... ... ... ... ... ..


CHAPTER 2 - THE OTHERS (Jump Ship Now)
In the interest of full disclosure, you definitely are NOT my perfect match if: You think Budweiser is a food group; You would leave your own wedding to check game scores; You consider fine dining drive-thru #3; You think a travel adventure is a a trip down the grocery store ethnic foods aisle; Your 15 minutes of fame were achieved as a Jerry Springer Show guest; You need directions to the shower in your own home; Your former spouse is also your sister; The steering wheel of your car is attached with duct tape; Your family room is decorated in Bates Motel motif.

TOYS: If you are accustomed to women being impressed by your fast car, boat, Harley, 2000-inch TV, etc., sorry to disappoint. I will be most happy to enjoy your toys with you, as long as they don't define you.

I'm looking for: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... EMPLOYMENT: If you are seeking a mommy, suga' mamma, housekeeper, nanny, cook, psychiatrist, secretary, green card, please move on.

COMMUNICATION: DATING--If you approach me from the dating perspective, it is my understanding that dating requires 2 parties at some point be in immediate proximity to each other. So, if you have neither the means nor the intention of MEETING, please kindly pass me by. PEN PALS--It's all good.


CHAPTER 3 - YOU (The Survivors)
I really don't like rigid requirements, as sometimes the most remarkable people present in ways and places we could never have imagined. I would hope for some combination of the following: Emotionally mature but a child at heart; intimately connected while maintaining his own individuality/interests; romantically creative & openly affectionate; intelligent, articulate & well rounded but not arrogant/condescending, confident enough to be trusting/trustworthy; playful, witty & COMPLETELY MAD IN A GOOD WAY; unthreatened by an independent woman with opinions. He would know the importance of never ending a day angry & not sweating the small stuff. His inner child would be potty trained. My guy is the one willing to climb to the top of the tree to get the good apples, or intelligent enough to design a robotic arm to retrieve them. (No, Bubba, shaking the tree doesn't count)


CHAPTER 4 - THE FINE PRINT
I have a fabulous 8-year-old SON, not GRANDSON. We are a package deal.
