Thank you to all who wrote me ... and thanks I guess to those who sent the "natural" photos .. not asked for, nor required, but interesting none the less ....

I guess I will start with me ....

I am tall, average build, and have a definite zest for life and all it offers. I am an avid scuba diver, I climb mountains, I play golf and I read voraciously. I have been single for quite a while as I contemplate what it is that might bring me joy, peace and happiness and I have reached the following conclusion .... I don't know :)

There are people on this site with extremely specific requirements both emotionally and physically and I wish them and their narrow feild well ... I on the other hand find myself to be much more open to the experiences that could change my life and I am not about to let hair colour, breast size, or ethnicity determine anything.

moving on to you ... I hope for some very simple things ..
Sincerity - mean what you say, and be who you are
Honesty - if you aren't something, don't try and be it
Faith - not specifically in god, but in yourself and those around you
Hope - it is our greatest asset (and unfortunately our greatest downfall)
Integrity - I have a bank account, but it doesn't mean I am one. Please don't use me. It looks worse on you than it does on me.
Baggage - children are NOT baggage, mine, yours .. they are to be deeply cherished and adored ... they become baggage only when you have no idea how precious they are.
and finally - the ability to be deeply, completely in love.

As a side note ... I have no interest in being just another addition to your MSN ... I will only give you my IM information when I believe there is a reason too

To answer the most popular questions I recieve, thus saving you the trouble of asking then being disappointed.

Q - What do I do for a living?
A - Technology (yup .. a geek :)

Q - What is my background?
A - I am Canadian, what else do I need to be?

Q - How often do I have my daughter?
A - As often as humanly possible because I love and adore her. She is my child and I am her father, how else could I possibly answer this ridiculous question?

i travel the world extensively because of my job so would need a woman who can handle that (and occasionally come along :)


So there you have it :) good luck fishing everyone

I can only say that it would be safe, fun, public and respectful .... I just have no idea what "it" would be yet
