I'm just looking for someone I can connect with on may levels, intellectual, emotional, and physical. I'd love to have someone to spend time with, someone who "has my back". Maybe you'll call me just to say goodnight. Maybe we'll want to spend "no kid" weekends together. I want to know about your day, the good, the bad, the in-between.

If we both "get" some of the same song lyrics, or aspects of a book or movie, or can laugh at some ironic combination of stuff on the news, well, that's the kind of thing that floats my boat.

I'm really into music, and am always looking for new stuff. Look me up on http://www.playlist.com/duesterj if you'd like to share that way.

Once in a while I like an adventure. My idea of adventure might be tamer than yours, but if it’s something that I have to build myself up a bit to do, then it’s an adventure to me. You could ask me about my (one and only) experience with a flying trapeze – no a REAL one, like in the circus, get your mind out of the gutter!Or swimming across the Connecticut River, just because I wanted to be able to say I did.

And you? What are the things that appeal to you? What would you want to share with me?

A few basics about me… the kind of stuff I might want to know about you as a starting point:

• Single, full time professional, BS degree, have worked at the same job for (ouch!) 27 years. I’m currently in mid-level management, working with Dilbert. Financially and emotionally stable – seeking the same in a partner.
• I'm a huge fan of my descendants. They are two of the most decent people I know, and not just because they're my kids.

Nov 14th - I have 2 tickets to see David Sedaris at the Ryman in Nashville in April - but only one of me. And Sedaris fans out there interested in a roadtrip?
