I'll be out of town for a few weeks, visiting family and friends on the other coast, wishing all a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwaanza, Happy Solstice and a Happy New Year! If I missed anyone, my apologies and a Happy next two weeks to you!
I'm intelligent, funny, fairly easy on the eyes, generous......no, wait, that's for you to decide. I may be those things, but to you, I might be none of them. I'm a decent guy, secure, available. My hobbies are skiing, running, playing golf, travelling, road tripping, getting to the outdoors, whether on the water or in the mountains. I enjoy seafood, sushi, indian, thai, good italian, and a very occasional ribeye. I'm a bit of a wine collector(not a "wine snob") these days, so maybe you can come help me reduce my stock. I also enjoy a fine craft beer, a strong cup of coffee, and a VERY occasional cigar, usually with one of the above. There! My vices laid out before you!
I'm looking for a woman who is intelligent and can explain why she believes in something. She should take fitness seriously(this does not necessarily mean skinny, ripped, zero body fat, anything like that, fit is fit), take care of herself. Yes, she has to be attractive to my tastes and vice versa. Age is just a number, in both directions, I don't discriminate at all. My ideal woman likes live music, good food and drink, road trips, and sharing affection. She must be tolerant, as we all have a tendency to slip up and require forgiveness, yet she should know that the favor will be returned in spades.
So, if this appeals to you, contact me, you won't be disappointed. I guarantee it.

note: religion is listed as "other" because "prefer not to say" was not available. Spirituality can't necessarily be defined by a label and is too personal to try and do so.
I have gray, or "salt and pepper" hair, some of the pictures don't show that as well, I don't want anyone to be suprised. If you prefer dark hair, there are ways to fix that down the road, I just don't do it for myself.
For those of you who have looked before, I changed my name because the old one(Chrisizup) was often "misunderstood" and, to be honest, was kinda lame anyway!

Some things I've been up to lately, ski trip to Whistler, hiking trip to Sedona, AZ, Austin City Limits Music Festival, Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Octoberfest and Wiener Dog Races in Puyallup(my dog came in 2nd in his heat), Pearl Jam twice here in Seattle, 2 road trips to Northern California in August, Seahawks games, Sounders games, Pittsburgh for a convention. I've been enjoying myself, as you can probably tell.

Anything from coffee to a week in Hawaii(more than 7 days is too much for a first date!)
