I'm creative. I like eating, drinking socially, and smoking the occasional cigar (haven't had one in months, they've become less than annual). I can cook to an extent, and am constantly learning. Besides cooking, I like building all kinds of things. I've been to Japan, Italy, & Africa. For fun I like to keep up with automotive news/modification/repair, as well as home remodeling/improvement/repair. The food network and travel channel are my defaults when I have the time to watch tv.

I like animals, I've 'captured' several stray dogs (they wanted to be caught) and helped find them homes, unfortunately I'm allergic to cats.

My kids (6-year old son, and daughter, 4) keep me pretty busy when I have them. My children are my priority, but when I'm not with them I crave some grown-up companionship.

I'd prefer to keep things simple. We'd need to be able to begin to get to know each other, so we'll have to be able to talk.
