Full of enthusiasm, a good listener and very empathetic. I love nature, especially water... can fix just about anything, except people. Looking for a passionate and compassionate woman who has come to appreciate both the simpler and the finer things in life. I'm hoping to find a companion for adventure, passion, romance, true love (as in Erich Fromm), fun, but most of all, a great relationship and a loving home. Oh, did I say peace?

I like to watch what's going on in the world around me... especially seeing when actions don't follow words. I'm very intrigued with how the brain works. There's a neo-cortex, amigdala, hippocampus, brain stem. The amigdala intrigues me the most. It is what defines us as lovers, people whose hearts beat large, who continuously strive to do acts of kindness. When that part is active in love (not fear) it is as though there is a mission in life to love as much as possible and know that at the moment I pass from this earth there will be no doubt that I did just that. Only problem is I haven't met you yet. It's kinda lonely but I keep quite busy. I don't feel lonely when my kids (14 and 17) are around. They live with me every other week. When they're around, I'm very much Mr. Mom. I enjoy most chores. I strive to be a good dad, support my kids, teach them respect and empathy for others, manners as best I can and make sure they know they're loved. I like what Kahlil Gibran writes about children. We play or listen to music, cook and clean... I try to make a house a home but I sure could use a woman's touch. I'm an inventor... just made convenient way to absorb fat while cooking, adept PC builder/fixer/techno-geek, photographer, landscaper, I design and implement websites... and do lots of athletic stuff. I was once a chef, a NYC bicycle messenger, an ocean lifeguard, a veterinary assistant, a fireman, I did home renovations... what else? ...7 US patents, extreme hacky sack top 10, captain ultimate team 6 yrs, swim coach, skateboarder, surfer, windsurfer, skier, sometimes even a tv-watching-popcorn-munching (not-too-loud) couch-potato. My kids have a word for that.

I love swimming, cycling, hiking, kayaking (great photo ops), camping (don't rough it as much as I once did, but that PBS series on National Parks sure was awe-inspiring, especially about Muir and Emerson)... I love nature and appreciate the interconnectedness in life. I have the mind of a scientist and the imagination of a kid. Beware, I do puns (I know, I know, everyone needs a vice or two... it helps relieve the pressure, heh, heh). I'm hard to beat at chess, scrabble, ping pong... I've always been a good competitor but lately have taken on a more recreational attitude. If I'm riding a bike I may stop to take some pictures and have a drink... it OK! I might even smell some roses!!! OMG... a guy who cries at movies! But I'll still hold a 17 mph pace for 2 hours (no big hills pleeeeze!).

Scientist in medical diagnostics specializing in systems integration for automated critical care, co-ox and electrolyte analyzers. Chemist with diverse knowledge in variety of fields... strong computer and problem solving skills. While I like the field I work in, I'm open and I actually have dreams... and plans.

I've learned that all the talent and money is no substitute for wisdom and a warm heart. I'm looking for someone who is true and loving and is willing to give the benefit of the doubt, as I am... knowing that every day is a new day to learn and grow. It is a dance of life... if you stumble I will catch you as you will for me. We are all imperfect, but perfect for our selves. I can make one promise... I will always strive to be the best person I can be.

I grew up in Manhattan... and survived. I'm of Jewish origin but sing actively in a church choir. I say "not religious" but I am deeply spiritual and I love family and community. I respect others' beliefs and I believe anyone who "knows" absolutes is likely confusing knowledge with belief. I think it's important to know the difference. It's particularly important when looking as one's self... it's quite humbling... which goes back to the simple things in life... gratitude, appreciation.

...first date... hmmm... it all depends. It could be meeting at a coffee shop and maybe going for a walk... like up Stone Mountain or Kennesaw Mountain (just kidding)... no really, I enjoy doing that kind of stuff and if it's no big deal. just do it. I love seeing a movie but that's not very conducive to conversation. I would like to go to a place that is relatively quiet. I guess the point is to see if there's any... potential... intellect, intimacy, spirituality... attraction. Know any other kinds? How about just plain old fun and laughter? ...silly stuff. I don't know.. that's what you get when you ask me to imagine a first date late at night. I'm looking for someone who is honest first and foremost with themselves and "works and plays well with others" and likes me and I like her... kind like an old movie except you get to make it up as you go.
