Thanks for taking look. My kids are grown and on their own - almost - I have a 19 was attending Sinclair but dropped out and heading to Texas to be with his mom. He may rejoin me at some point when he's ready for some tech training. A long term relationship but let's start with..... Someone to catch a movie with, share dinner in a restaurant (J Alexanders, Carvers, CENA, El Meson, Taco Lindo - a great mom and pop), Flemings, Bar Louie, Brio, are some of my favorites) or catch an event. I enjoy optimism, tennis (always looking for a partner), chess, working out at the Five Seasons, reading, walking, both creating art and checking it out in galleries, stimulating conversation, and robust coffee. I place a premium on honesty -- it's foundational and it goes hand in hand with trust. I think each of us should search for someone who makes us feel like the most valued and special person in the world. Communication is so important -- like reading, it's fundamental. Personal Mantra.... always do what you say you are going to do and don't sweat the small stuff. I'm am attracted to those who approach life with passion, someone who is honest, witty, bright, kind, resourceful, and sweet. I don't think "opposites attract" relationships work and I want to share similar values and approaches with my partner. I used to live at Yankee Trace but now I live at a mall. Kids are great and welcome.
