If I could invent something, it would be a waterproof shower recording studio (since everyone sounds great singing in the shower). What songs do you sing along to yourself? I love live shows (music, comedy, drama) so if you'd be willing to perform you'd earn major points. I play guitar and write my own music for fun. I find inspiration all around me. Scrubs and The Daily Show make me laugh. I could probably kick your butt at scrabble, but to make it fair I’ll let you start with the Z. My glass is half full. It’s important to keep things in perspective. Reminders come along now and then to help me keep my priorities straight. I enjoyed eight wonderful years working in nonprofit management at a job that was extremely rewarding and also extremely consuming - so much so that it left me very little time for myself or dating. Although I've made a dramatic career change I find balance by volunteering and giving back - things that are also very important to me. Enough about me - what about you?

A first date should be an opportunity to comfortably laugh and take the pressure off. Let's not get distracted by the details. Instead let's enjoy a glass of something wonderful and let the conversation flow.
