Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! Here are a few relevant details about the man you're currently scoping out:

1.) I am an emergency veterinarian, and therefore I work very wild hours.

2.) I am the proud father of beautiful 10-year old triplets (this may be a biased opinion)

3.) I am (unfortunately) a workaholic, but at least I can admit I have a problem! (now if I could just remember the other 11 steps ...). Do you know them? With some help I bet I could recover ...

4.) ... after all, I am already recovering quite well from Catholicism (though I could still use a little help shaking off the institutionalized guilt)

5.) I split my time between two residences - one in York PA and one in Waldorf. These places are near my 2 jobs (told you I was a workaholic).

6.) I am a tall goofy white guy. I go to the gym 5-6 times per week, but that doesn't seem to be helping my goofiness (or my height).

7.) I am at least 3 of the 7 dwarves: Goofy, Horny and Doc. "doc" because I'm a veterinarian, "goofy" (see above) and "horny" because ... well, I just am. But if you have the cure ...

8.) my resume includes BS, MS, DVM, SOB - he who dies with the most letters behind his name wins!

9.) I consider myself polyamorous (or at the least non-monogamous)at this stage in my life. I am in a stable relationship with a great woman (hence the "available" tag) - we have an open relationship, we are both free to date others (and yes, she is aware I have a profile here), and people who date me need to be able to handle that.

Fair warning: if you're still reading this and you're already groaning, it doesn't get any better. Making up your mind whether or not to message me at this point is perfectly fine ...

The boring part: being a father and responsible professional.

The rest of it: trying to squeeze as much fun out of life as it will surrender.

My goal in life is to live forever: so far, so good.

- keeping my head in a crisis - I'm very good at getting done what needs to be done when the excrement hits the oscillator
- hugs
- making a woman feel special/spoiling her
- making people laugh, usually with off-color jokes and occasionally with displays of goofiness (like the profile you are currently reading)
- remembering things
- kissing: including French and Australian techniques (so I have been told - ask me to prove it!)

The first thing people usually notice about me is my smile (see pic). It is only later that they realize that a smile like that usually means trouble ...

Books: too many to list, favorite authors are Christopher Moore, Terry Goodkind (whose views, I am finding, are very similar to those of Ayn Rand) and Terry Pratchett.
Also, if you are considering dating me I recommend that you read a book called "The Ethical Slut" ... really ... it will save us some time.

Movies: I generally prefer comedies - Monty Python and the Holy Grail holds a special place in my heart. I also cannot pass by Shawshank Redemption and Groundhog Day, and I enjoy the typical guy/sports films (Hoosiers and Miracle especially). However, suspense and action films are also fun. Not so much a horror fan.

Music: Very varied tastes here - my i-Pod is a confusing jumble of almost 1000 songs over all genres. Recently I have taken a great interest in Irish/Celtic music: Gaelic Storm, Barleyjuice, Sloanwolfe (recommendations for other bands to check are welcome)

Food: Pizza, hands down, though presently I am trying to lose weight so pizza is only taken in moderation

I have realized I generally have the same attitude towards wine, art, music and books: I know what I like. I don't let others influence my enjoyment of any of this - if I like it, I keep it around and if I don't, it doesn't matter what 100 critics say, I ain't having any.

- my kids
- pets (and lots of 'em)
- laptop/internet access (how else to reply to the e-mail you're composing as you read this?)
- ESPN (my other addiction, but don't worry - I'd rather be out with you than watching sports, so I have this one under control)
- laughter (if this profile has made you laugh we might have something)
- my cell phone (with my busy schedule it's how I keep in touch with the world)

... where am I going? and what am I doing in this handbasket?
... 42
... why OKC thinks sex drive and love are mutually exclusive
... why you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway
... why I like lists in my profile so much
... the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow

Friday night is most often my "kid night", when I try to spend time with my children. Often pizza or Chinese food and Wii are involved, it is terribly exciting.

I actually didn't know the correct lyrics to Elton John's "Rocket Man" until I saw a recent car commercial ...

- You want someone to go out and have some fun with - go places, do things and enjoy life
- You already have a bunch of fun things you want to do, and just want someone to share them with
- You need someone to make you go out and get a break from your everyday routine.
- Your memory of the 1980's is not confined to "I got potty trained"

You should NOT message me if:
- you are seeking a monogamous relationship
- you need someone to "complete" you - I only date women who are complete already, I don't date people with missing parts
- you are seeking your "soul mate" - my advice: put down the ceramic figurine, leave the Hallmark store and get help!

WOW - did you actually read all the way to the end of the profile? Or are you the kind of person who skips to the end of a book to see how it all turns out without bothering with the juicy stuff in the middle?
Either way, if you've invested the time to read all this stuff, how about investing a few more minutes and e-mailing me?
