I like to go hiking and be out in nature from time to time; this is a really beautiful area. I also like having intellectually stimulating conversations! Problem is, sometimes it's hard to find someone to have that with...

Right now I am spending a lot of my free time training for a triathlon next year. I did one this year and it was a ton of fun, so I think I'm addicted!

I am very relaxed, but am always looking at ways to improve myself. I figure if you aren't getting better, you are getting worse. It would be great to meet someone with the same outlook. Besides, it gives you plenty of opportunities to do fun stuff you have never tried!

For a first date, I think (although it is kind of cliche), meeting somewhere like a coffee shop, Jamba Juice, going bowling is a good comfortable place to get to know the person a little better. If there is chemistry, I think the second date is the one we should focus on here =)

For the second date, something fun and outdoorsy would be great. Hiking at Annadel is a lot of fun. Some really good scenery, and it can make for great conversation. Also it lets me know you aren't a wimp =p

It will be that much more exhilarating when we follow it up with a nice lunch. I think some sliced pears with a good white wine, or some salmon and cream cheese on crackers would be the trick. Topping that off with some Godiva chocolate would highlight that whole lunch.
