I am intelligent, college educated and run my own business. I am polite, respectful and introverted (and maybe a bit shy), but I'm not a pushover or timid. I tend to get my way through logic and reason rather than emotion.

I love to travel. I've driven across the entire US and visited more than a dozen other countries and can't wait to see the rest and definitely want to get back to Europe again.

Right now my hobbies seem to be limited to clearing out the significant jungle behind my house and the shooting sports. I also try to get in a good hour or so of TV each and every month.

I like most types of music with the exception of hip hop and rap which I detest. I'm a big fan of comedy as well.

If you are a crazy cat lady, please move along. I don't care for cats and am allergic to them and have no interest in someone with a dozen cats arguing with each other over who gets to control "their" human.

I will respond to any message sent to me and if I do turn you down, I will be polite about it. I would appreciate the same if I send you a message.

I'm fairly new to this area, so I'd like to see what Kansas City has to offer, so if you are familiar with local museums or art galleries I'd like to wander around while getting to know each other.
