"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

I am looking for the woman of my dreams. She can tell me where the above quote is from. She would be a wonderful, loving person who is able to see the good in people and is able to put up with my faults, such as they are. Someone who will love my children and treat them with respect. Someone who is ambitious without losing track of the things that are important. (Those things wouldn't be the type of car someone drives, or the name on a suit or watch.) She won't be DC shallow and self absorbed. She could swear like a longshoreman as needed, but kiss my kids goodnight. She realizes that "Fox News" is an oxymoron (heavy on the Moron).She would be athletic or not...love all sorts of music. I need to make changes in my life and she would like to change with me, not try to change me! I am looking for my last great love. She is out there, I just know it! I'm a former football player, body builder and opera singer. I need to get back to the gym, as I'm sure many of us do, but Iam working on getting back into good physical shape. Yes I need to loose a few pounds(ok, more than a few), but I won't make you run for the hills. I'm a big ol' bear of a guy, and my HS nickname was "Gentle Ben". If you need to ask, then you're too young. I am a happy, sincere person. Get to know me! You just might like what you find. I want to open a pub called "The Frog and Buttock"

Something calm and fun. Could be a walk, or sitting in a quiet restaurant, sharing a bottle of great wine along with great conversation. No bungee jumping. Ever.
