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’m a freelance writer who honestly believes we're just artifacts of the random motion of sub-atomic particles. Unfortunately, i've found that this belief is of only limited utility when having one’s prostate examined or answering the question “Do I look fat in this?”I’m passionate about ideas; interested in almost everything. I can talk intelligently about things I know absolutely nothing about. Except hockey.’s knees were still good. I’m open to new ideas, activities and experiences. When not checking ten times to make sure the oven’s off and the door’s locked, I have mastered a zen-like calm.Much to my surprise, I have discovered that I actually do suffer fools well. This means that I will be able to get along with those friends of yours that you’ve had so long that you can’t really remember why they’re your friends. As well as family members who get shunted off to the “I don’t know where to put them” table at weddings.I’m reserved, rather than gregarious. Loyal, supportive and undemanding, without a hint of jealousy. I do, however, insist on honestly answering questions asked of me, on the generally false assumption that an honest answer is desired. I will repeat this, even immediately after suffering the consequences of the first answer. It’s a feature, not a bug.I’m pretty down to earth (which i think just means that I never have, and likely never will want to own a watch that costs more than my last car), easy going and undemanding. I can’t imagine life without bacon. I like kittens and hard liquor. I refuse to pay $12 for a drink in a martini shaped glass, even if it is an actual martini. The first book report I ever wrote, in Grade 4, was on a book by Mickey Spillane. I have been known to give a copy of “The Myth of Sisyphus” to babies as birthday presents. I also have a fondness for actuaries.There is one particular Red-winged Blackbird in High Park who insists on attacking me every time I walk past his tree. Finally, sitting by a lake with a bottle of Jack on a clear moonless night, the milky way tucked in around me, is the kind of artifact I can truly celebrate.So, what am I looking for? Either someone who, based on my picture, thinks I’m hot, or someone who finds the above appealing. Someplace well-lit and with metal detectors, given that, in my experience, quasi-intellectual women are usually packing heat. Or we could just go for a coffee or a drink on a patio.

    This is the toughest part of using meetville. Trying to describe yourself without coming off as arrogant or pathetic. But here goes....Neither extremely extroverted nor introverted, I am a confident, successful businessman who likes to relax after stressful days at work. My interests include hockey and baseball, single malt scotch, barbecuing and reading philosophy and historical biographies. I am not a smoker, but do like a good cigar with a good whisky.I am not ready for a long term relationship, however, I am looking for someone to have an ongoing casual relationship/friendship with. You should never end a sentence with a preposition, but I just did. While not the most touchy-feely guy in the world, I do love to kiss. I am very egalitarian and give trust openly until the individual is found to be unworthy of it.Not a big "chatter" online, and prefer one-on-one conversation. Real people are the best! Something simple. A dinner out. A walk through the park or the mall. Coffee afterward. Just getting to know someone.
