I am going to describe myself the way I have heard others do it: I am warm, a good listener, easy to converse with, friendly, empathetic, generous, funny, intelligent, and somewhat dorky.

My every day goals are to try to appreciate the life I have, the friends and family I love and to always try to continue to learn.

The problem with first dates is that I can be extremely flexible so I find joy in all types of activities. I can go to a live music concert or an art gallery opening or a square dance or sit and drink coffee and talk until the sun comes up. As long as the conversation remains enjoyable, the venue is not particularly important.
