The greatest things in life are free: A smile. A laugh. A hug. A kiss. Sincere compliments. Sunrises and sunsets. A clear, starry night. Cuddle time with my daughters. Good conversation. Love. Compassion. A good deed. These things make me happy.

Cooking seems like good therapy. Experimenting in the kitchen most often occurs after a really good episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and I've ended up with a few new favorites. It's alright if you can't boil water without a recipe. I'm a good teacher.

I am unique...just like everyone else. I am a FIRM believer in truth, justice and coffee at all hours, no matter what.

I get a kick out of sarcasm because I am, myself, sarcastic and silly sometimes. Jokes and funny stories are not my strong suit, but I'll certainly listen to yours.

I have a hard time dealing with someone making a person the butt of their jokes for their own enjoyment or to get a laugh, realistic observations notwithstanding. On the other hand, knowing when it's time to be serious is important as well.

Physical attraction is important. Anyone being honest with themselves would agree. Please make sure your picture is a true representation of what you look like.

If you're still married (separated), please reconsider contacting me. There's usually too much drama in all that. It doesn't matter how "over it" you may think you are.

There are all kinds of options for a first meeting, but I prefer something simple. That keeps it easy for everyone involved. We can always decide to keep it going from there.
