I am looking for laughter. The Beatles said. All you need is love, but I think laughter is just as important. I am also looking for friendship, companionship, honesty, excitement, kindness, my inner self, splendor (not always in the grass) and a lot of fun.

I am a warm, caring person with a huge heart. People would say I am a good dad and I love my children very much.

What I like in a woman is honesty, independence, a big happy smile, sparkling eyes, intelligence and diverse conversation. A biting sense of humor, but in a playful, fun kind of way.

I also enjoy reading, writing and watching some sports occasionally. I like going to the beach (There's something magical about the beach) and riding my bicycle. I like classic rock, some jazz, and some classical.

I am returning to college next Spring to finish my bachelors degree. This time around it is a personal goal, not a career one...

On a first date I like to go to dinner at a quite, well lit restaurant so I can enjoy my dates company and hear what she has to say. Later a quiet bar is nice, maybe with soft, live music to listen to.
