Not to get too heavy but I believe that at the end of the day the answers we seek are within and that our lives basically repeat themselves until we respond from within. One of my favorite quotes is "to thy own self be true."

I enjoy the subtle, beautiful details of life like the sound of waves at night or the angle of a roofline or the laughter of my children. I ALSO like the feel of high-end deals like a Four Seasons hotel, the sound of a BMW engine, a great Zegna suit or a "grab your tongue and shake it" powerhouse cabernet. In general, though, I am a casual guy thinks breakfast at Cracker Barrel is the bomb, and whose list of favorite sandwiches includes peanut butter (crunchy only) and jelly on toast.

A great first date would be in a comfortable atmosphere which encourages easy talk and natural laughter. Perhaps a cup of coffee or a glass of wine where there is live entertainment in the background to set us at ease. We'll know pretty soon by the conversation if "it" is there. Either way, I love the opportunity to meet new people and appreciate their insights.
