Hobbies? Finding old books and reading them. Baseball games. Catch in the park. Finding reasons to love my neighborhood.

Goals? Happy living. All. Day. Long.

Me? Unique? Sure. I have drive but I also love, love, love to relax. I will spend a ton of money and several hours of travel to go to a friend's annual bonfire and camp out all night because it's the best night of the year. I've traveled by myself overseas and had the best time of my life. I drink extremely black coffee with one sugar. My grandmother is looney, but she's the best person I know--maybe. I'm grateful for a lot of things in life and know how lucky I am.

Music? Live. Guy on a guitar. Good song writing. The Jacksons after the Jackson 5. Jamiroquai when I need to dance. Pointer Sisters when I need to clean.

First date is for sure a beer. Enough to meet. Enough to laugh several times. Enough to see if either of us are hungry for dinner. Nothing too involved. Nothing to get dressed up for. Impress me by saying, "Huh, that's interesting," or "What do you think?" And tell me what you love about your job, or your neighborhood, and then offer to buy the next round and I'll be sure to get the next.
