[I'm in Fiji on biz so apols if I don't reply for a while.]

Hello!

So, you like: food, wine, intelligent conversation, dressing up, dressing down, being gorgeous, heels, pumps, travel, adventure, laughing. You think you are: great! You have: passion for something (not just beer, TV, ...). Me, check the keywords.

For the shopping list crowd: yes, I have a (good) job, degrees, and own company; yes, I know how to use a semicolon; no, I do not know how to teach a cucumber to dance If you are looking for this, we are probably not a good match.

And finally, here's one of my fave jokes: "How much fun does a monk have?" "Nun." Wow, that slays me every time What's yours?

(PS why is there a "Do You Have a Car?" question but not a "Do you have a motorbike?" question? One of those, I do have I'm looking forward to piloting a plane to Vegas also, yay!)

Couple of great quotes,

"Yet still, there are those special secret moments in our lives, when we smile unexpectedly--when all our forces are resolved. A woman can often see these moments in us, better than a man, better than we ourselves, even. When we know these moments, when we smile, when we are not on guard at all--these are the moments when our most important forces show themselves; whatever it is you are doing at such a moment, hold on to it, repeat it--for that certain smile is the best knowledge that we ever have of what our hidden forces are, and where they lie, and how they can be loosed." -- Christopher Alexander (The Timeless Way of Building)

"HELP! How many more nights and weird mornings can this terrible sh*t go on? How long can the body and the brain tolerate this doom-struck craziness? This grinding of teeth, this pouring of sweat, this pounding of blood in the temples... small blue veins gone amok in front of the ears, sixty and seventy hours with no sleep..." -- Hunter S Thompson (Better than Sex)

And Finally... yes, for the love of god (I get asked this all the time) I did play sax. I also speak Esperanto; if you actually know what that is: win! I recently moved from London to San Francisco & first up is getting my pilot's license. Airstrip's actually in Hayward but I'm living in Bernal Heights (Precita Park).

I was determined to have nothing negative in my profile but have succumbed, slightly: if you send a message at any stage without a question I assume you are talking AT me rather than WITH me. Unlikely to get a reply. Google: Conversation 101. Ooh, a bit of sarcasm in there, too ;-)

Grab a six pack and a take-out, and get ready to party!

But seriously though, low key, chilled, getting to know one another over drinks or a herbal tea or whatever (cocktails?) sounds good. If we get to know each other over email a bit then I'm well up for going creative and imaginative...

Actually, I really love to cook, and make the best pancakes. Maybe after the 2nd date, if you're particularly awesome

I'm new to SF and have a TON of recommendations of cool, fun stuff to go explore - just looking for someone relaxed, interesting, and easy going to do that with. I have the plan, are you ready?!
