Hello. I'm a generally polite, educated, laid-back but fairly energetic guy looking for someone with whom to occupy my time. I'm interested in nature and science, music, literature, history, and just about everything else. I'm kind and generous, except for those times when I'm feeling self-centered and ornery. I'm looking for someone who has their own life but who's able to take interest in mine. I'm big on equality, honesty, and openness. I offer great conversation, madcap adventures, warm tenderness, sincere and open communication, and above all, effort. Oh yeah, lest I forget: 1. My hobbies are hiking, gardening, reading, and I also like to sing, though mainly to myself as I do other stuff; 2. My goals and aspirations are to do good work and develop a close and loving relationship with a woman and to engage a variety of people in my life so I learn more about life, and I'd also like to be King of the Turtles; 3. I'm sure they're not going to give me enough room to talk about myself, and everyone's unique, so due to the fact that I belong to the set of everyone, so am I; 4. My taste in music ranges from the soothing to the frenetic, and mainly I appreciate excellent musicianship regardless of the genre, and note that the voice is a particularly powerful instrument. According to the rules of this website, you are now compelled to converse with me. You can think about it if you want to, but you really should just go ahead and drop me a line.

We'd meet in a neutral location where we could sit and talk to get through the exchange of basic details, probably while sipping coffee. I'd tell jokes, you'd laugh, and eventually I'd suggest we go for a walk in the park in spite of the weather being not quite perfect. You'd agree and we'd wander off to find that the open air allowed us to relax a bit more and open up, whereupon we'd discover that we actually had a good amount in common and were well compatible. We'd stop somewhere to talk some more, and I'll just leave us there on that park bench to do whatever seems most natural at that point.
