Every year I send out a Christmas newsletter to those in my life whom I deem worthy, and they absolutely love it. And it's fun to write. But trying to write something that will make women say to themselves "WOW! I have to get to know this guy!"... not so easy. I'll throw out some random thoughts and we'll see if anything sticks:

1)I enjoy cooking and prefer long runs with my dog to long walks on the beach. Where's the beach in Iowa?
2) I've been green long before being green was cool... or even called green. I don't hunt nor do I cast aspersions on those who do, though I believe killing an animal that will not be eaten just for the thrill of killing is immoral.
3) If you're a shopaholic and as a result are saddled with mounds of credit card debt...you're looking for someone else.
4) I'm a normal guy who believes the most effective antidote against depression is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Not every Christian I know is happy, but every atheist I know is miserable with no hope, no matter what facade they present to the world.
5) Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean I've vowed to remain pure until marriage! I'm already sullied! ;-)
6) If you have kids in school and want me to attend their sporting events with you, not only will I not complain, I will enjoy it. Really!
7) My goals include (but are not limited to) completing the Hardrock 100 and living an interesting life.
8) I give GREAT backrubs (so I've been told). I even took a massage class, but learned most of what I know from massage therapist friends and my own intuition.
9) I am attracted to women who can construct grammatically correct sentences and concatenate them correctly. Intelligence is sexy!!
10) If you're a non-smoker with life goals that go beyond making ends meet until your next welfare check, engage in activities that go beyond staring at the boob tube and getting drunk on Friday night, and are free from mental disease or defect, maybe we should get acquainted.

Enough about me. I am more interested in getting to know YOU!

A first date from hell would be to go to a country bar and line dancing.

Now that I've got that out of the way... what did you have in mind?
