I am told that I am witty, charming and a gentleman. I think of myself as curious, funny and hunting for the next adventure. The truth is probably somewhere in between...

I like to spend my time going out and about...theater, movies, museums, great restaurants, great cheap restaurants, spicy food, cycling, rock climbing, relearning the guitar...

Grew up in NYC. Jaded by age 13.

Travel restores my sense of wonder and the beauty of nature overwhelms me.

I am sort of a doctor for companies. Some days its drudgery and other days its a calling.

Convincing people to do things
Spontaneity
Buying more books than I can read
Being a movie and literature snob
Faking knowledge about art history
Enjoying gawker
Giving massages
Snappy retorts
Solving a crisis
Planning a weekend
Whipping up crepes
Throwing dinner parties
Teasing children
Wrapping presents
Making souffles
Driving fast
Finding my way
Training dogs
Disproving Republican arguments
Discretion
Getting speeding tickets
Inspiring confidence
Empathy
Serving coffee in bed
Cynicism
Recalling irrelevant facts
Playing the piano badly
Finding great places to get desserts
Building bridges and solving problems
Starting revolutions

Style and grace until I spill a drink
(Evidently a few people have mentioned that I have a wedding ring on in one of my pictures. It is true that I was once married. What can I say...)

So many...Amis (both), nabokov, russo, Tolstoy, submarine movies, Pink Martini, The Xx, the new pornographers, Morcheeba, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, SJ & The Daps, John Lee Hooker, miles davis, jim thomson, this american life, the Wire, fess, Elmore Leonard...its a grab bag. I am easily amused, but have high standards.

My daughter, killer music, coffee, novels, my ipad, great food...so many other things as well. This is a weirdly artificial question

My next travel destination. Next stops are Buenos Aires, Prague (check), Anguilla, African Safari, Helsinki (check), Beijing (check), Bali (again), and Vietnam (again) costa rica, Argentina, Not sure which order but am knocking them off...

Enjoying dinner with friends

If I was a superhero my second superpower would be the ability to find a cab in the rain.

3 rd superpower invisibility so I could take short afternoon naps at work

4th superpower to write a screenplay in my limited spare time

You are happy, smart and funny
You love New York, but can still laugh at the oddities of this city.
You have style and flair
You like to travel.
