I'm searching for someone who appreciates a dry, sarcastic sense of humor, responsibility, and manners. The KC-area is my original home, with stops along the way in Houston, Atlanta, Scottsdale, and Seattle. Moved away from here at age 15, moved back roughly 23 years later.

I enjoy spending time with my kids, road trips, dining out, listening to live music, fishing, camping, and searching out hole-in-the-wall places to eat. Additionally, I enjoy playing golf, cooking, working, gardening, or watching college football. Cooking and entertaining are a passion of mine, constructing events for my friends and relatives makes me feel good, about.........me.

I have two wonderful kids that do not live with me, but I see them all the time despite the distances they live from NW Missouri. I'm a good Dad.

Why am I here? I'd like to meet someone and start enjoying the KC life a little more. Give me a shout if you’re interested. I've got a lot of positive attributes to share with someone; it's just been a long time since I've wanted to.

LIKES: Autumn, Chicago-Style Hot Dogs, Working in the Yard, Patchouli, The Feel of a Well-Struck Golf Shot, Cold Beer, Iced Tea, Shopping, Hearing a Child Laugh, Lighting the Tiki Torches for a Night of Grilling, Pier One, Baseball, Growing Peppers, and Orange PowerAde.

DISLIKES: Traffic, Judgmental People, Politics, Hot Weather, Security Lines at the Airport, Cheese, Being Late for Anything, Fabric Stores, Mosquitoes, Pulling Weeds, Car Trouble, and Rap Music

One more thing; if I send you an email and you're not interested, or have already found someone; a simple reply like "thanks, but no thanks" would really be appreciated. Have a great day

Something casual and out of the "norm" from dinner and a show. Maybe an "adult beverage" at a music lounge or jazz bar, where you can actually hold a conversation with some great music in the background. Just being ourselves, without trying to over-impress. Make sense?
