"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" R.W. Emerson.

"You have built your castles in the air. Now lay the foundations under them." H.D. Thoreau.

"The universal laws do not explain themselves. I reckon I am no prouder than the level I lay my house by after all." W. Whitman.

The first sentence of course is the most difficult. There, that's done. I'm a tall (6'4"), eclectic, athletic (runner, biker, track coach), educated (comparative lit degree...gee could you tell) individuAl who tends to look at the world from an eastern perspective (as in himalayas, not rhode island) looking for a philosopher queen/ warrior princess (more athena than xena mind you) with which to benevolently rule the world, or at least our little corner of it. We are both works in progress, progress being the key word. I have at various times been a teacher, coach, foster parent, neuro-educational facilitator, raconteur and roustabout (to qoute Tom Waits), ne'er do well, e'er do well, actor, athlete and am now exploring an entreprenurial vein. If you've read this far and haven't been scared off (or taken the gobstopper to give to Slugworth) then maybe we should finally meet and get on with the rest of our splendiforous life together, or at least have coffee.


"But til all graces be in one woman, one woman shall not come in my grace. Rich she shall be, that's certain; wise, or I'll none; virtuous, or I'll never cheapen her; fair, or I'll never look on her; mild, or come not near me; noble, or not I for an angel; of good discourse, an excellent musician, and her hair shall be of what color it please God." Much Ado About Nothing.

In all seriousness, I'm not very big on drawing pretty pictures of my ideal woman, I might miss the real her walking by. Athletic to a degree would be nice, interested in the world around her, liberal leanings are helpful, non-materialistic works. Whether she's tall, short, blonde, brunette isn't going to make or break.
