Do you love to lie in bed late at night listening to the rain fall lightly on the roof and ponder the beauty of the moment and the mysteries of the universe? Do you stop whatever you're doing to notice the scent of the fresh, damp, grass layered in the rising steam after a spring sunshower? Are you moved by the lilting strains of jazz, classical, reggae, and blues, but always take that chance to boogie down to good old rock and roll? If so, we may have much in common!

I'm an artist, musician, magician (really!), philosopher, businessman, and practitioner of several other avocations you may find intriguing. I have a full head of salt and pepper hair (no bald spots or comb-overs here), a great muscular build (6' tall in bare feet; 170 lbs.), all of my original limbs and organs, and a bewitching smile. And, yes ... I look exactly like my pictures! (suit portraits were taken 08/07/07) Although having been engaged, but by chance never married, I believe in commitment and have been involved in deep, meaningful, monogamous, long-term relationships lasting many years. I make my living in the field of commercial real estate, but understand and respect the need for a reasonable balance between work and play.

I spend most of my free time pursuing one or another of the fine arts (drawing, painting, landscape and human interest photography, silversmithing), composing, inventing, working out, or enjoying the wind in my face as I ride my Harley around town or in the North Georgia mountains. I have a very dry and mischevious Monty Pythonesque sense of humor and love to spin yarns and tell tall, albeit harmless tales. I place a high value on communication, honesty, integrity, intimacy, respect, sharing, monogamy, and friendship and am seeking a woman who does as well.

Let's see ... you're an honest, creative, intelligent, loving woman with a good heart. And ... you have the matching half of this magic amulet! OK, OK, OK ... all seriousness aside ... You're slender, healthy (drug and disease-free, like me!), communicative, fully self expressed, and truly emotionally available. You love to laugh and engage in intellectual or meaningless banter whenever possible and see humor as a solution to misfortune and the gateway to understanding. You view life as a never-ending venue for new experiences and endless questions. You have kids? No problem - I enjoy their company! Above all, you have the desire to share your future with a youthful partner, an exciting and passionate lover, and an absolutely faithful and supportive friend. I'll be waiting!

Start off with a bit of shark wrestling for a workout; a little Thai food for the hunger; a Harley ride for the senses; a bit of harmless story telling for the humor; and a bit of dwarf tossing and dream pursuing for the future!
