A creative professional, recently arrived back in US, after living in London and other far flung places. I’m a relatively sane, slim, spontaneous, single guy, who likes canines, is tolerant of felines and have never met a parakeet I could really bond with. My addictions include dill pickles, the National Inquirer and the over-use of alliteration. I dislike religious and political dogma and red cherries in drinks. I consider myself thoughtful, kind, easy-going, non-argumentative, quasi-athletic, semi-sophisticated and have been known to talk to strangers on buses (if they're not already talking to themselves). I’m very appreciative of women with style and beauty yet have a stronger affinity for the mind and character. Not to say all these qualities are irreconcilable. (Wow.) Among my interests are classic and decorative arts, furniture design, architecture, archaeology, esoterica, museums, history, the paranormal, flea markets and traveling off the beaten path. I'd like to meet an optimistic, open-minded, open-hearted, aware, adventurous, funny, tender, poignant, sensual, curvy, caring, considerate, cerebral, curious, compassionate, complimentary woman, for absurd chats, exploration of the senses, spontaneous laughter and unplanned trips - who'd like to come along for the bumpy ride.
