Am more nonmaterialistic than not. Try to grasp objective truth. Try not to take
anything too seriously, especially me. Always try to make others laugh.

Would like to learn one woman only.

Practice securities law for physical survival. It's an income, not an identity.

Very much into the great outdoors. Inescapable reality. Evening-nocturnal Venice-Santa Monica surf, with spinning rod in hand. Also, invigorating day trips to racetracks, another living.

Find much truth in great movies. All-time greatest: restored "Once Upon a Time in America." Am always deeply moved by soul jarring messages in same and such as "The Sixth Sense," "Bound by Honor," "Field of Dreams" & "2001." And we'll always have "Casablanca." Isn't "The Devil Wears Prada" one helluva sleeper? Will never miss re-seeing Harry & Sally. If these reach you, we'll reach each other.
