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 really don't know what to say here.(So here goes nothing).First I would like it to be known I will never date outside of my race.I also enjoy keeping my yard up too.One of my favorites is soaking in the hot tub.I am fond of the internet and comedy tv. I am compfortable with my situation living out in the country.I learned to enjoy my alone time too,but just maybe it would be nice to have some good company once in a while that is not too over controling or on any kind of drugs.I would like to meet a pretty lady that is down to earth.One who isn't too rediculasly ideallistick.Someone who is low maintenance and very nice to be with.I would also like her to be able to enjoy the outdoors as well as the indoors.I like good movies,cooking out on the pit ect..,I am not looking for someone to move in with or Vice-a-Versa for the moment.I would like to give friendship a chance to work things like that out.I like being an assemblyline Tech at my work place too. I enjoy Classic country and old rock music. I am into grilling on the pit. At times I like to travel.... It depends on the time of year.I have a few friends that like to go boating on the lake during the summer months.There is nothing wrong with dining out also.I like most anything when it comes to eating out.Oh I don't mind the at home movies too.
