I enjoy trying new things, be it food, wine, music, a show, meeting new people, and would like to think that I have a varied set of interests. I work in college athletics so have the opportunity to work with college-aged students which I find very rewarding. And while I love sports (watching, reading, participating), at times I need a break and enjoy getting lost in a great novel, reading the history of a time or place (I love trying to figure out how one set of actions and decisions impact other sets of actions and decisions). I love the mountains and prefer a lake to the ocean, but have certainly enjoyed all. I enjoy running, biking, hiking and swimming, but don't get out and participate in any of them as often as I would like.

Interested in great conversation, keen wit and women with a zeal for life. Recently divorced about six months ago so getting re-connected and interested in finding someone who is intelligent, healthy and has a great outlook on life...who enjoys being outdoors, but who also has a passion for fun and understands that life is in the laughter and enjoying time together, the sharing of common interests and support...

Quote: It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
(Theodore Roosevelt)

Meet for drinks or coffee and talk to get to know one another...laugh and hopefully laugh some more...I think you can tell pretty quickly if you hit it off with someone, but it is always nice to meet new people...
