Having reached the time when life isn't defined by proving something, I want to share the present with someone special, and let the future evolve from there.

I'm a professional person who's done his job, but along the way has neglected some of the simple enjoyments of life, and is ready to rediscover them. I'd like to meet someone with similar interests and life objectives, whatever her present circumstances.

I'm naturally active, like wallks, jogging, music, art, making things, and the joy of discovery. Most people say my humor is one of my best qualities. A bit contradictory, I'm intelligent but not bookish, and like people who are full of surprises and their own contradictions.

On a first date, I'd like to go somewhere quiet for coffee, browsing, or a walk, where we'd have a chance to talk and learn more about each other. Later, if we prove to be a match, I'd love to go on a leisurly drive in my convertible to northern Michigan, where we'd have an intimate dinner followed by cozy romantic evening in a picturesque cabin in the pines.
