I am Sensitive, Curious, and Hopeful.

My Self-Summary

I am a straight, single man once more, after a divorce two years ago. My pride (and almost always) my joy is a fabulous four ("and a half, Poppa!") year old boy who amazes me each and every day with his sensitivity, intelligence and, increasingly, his wonderfully expressed (and quite firmly-expressed) opinions. He also asks "why" occasionally....

I have been in New Mexico for almost four years, and originally come from the East Coast. I grew up in New York, Boston, Providence, Washington, DC and Baltimore and have lived abroad for more than eight years in Chile, Brazil, Jamaica and Mexico.

What I’m doing with my life

After more than twenty years in one career, I am interested in seeing if there might be another to which I may dedicate the remainder of my working years; given recent economic events, that probably means for the rest of my life....

I network constantly (sometimes even effectively) worked as hard as I could for a our new President's campaign in Santa Fe, and read altogether too much for any one normal or even slightly sane person.

Four months ago I started a new job in Albuquerque and I commute daily from Santa Fe. I wish I could take the Rail Runner, and will do so gladly if they improve the connections with the buses here in Albuquerque.

I’m really good at

Starting, contributing to and opining in lively discussions of history, alternative historical scenarios, international relations, Latin America, politics, literature and classic, foreign and science fiction films. As a child of the late sixties, I am fanatical about space, and would give #$(& to travel there. I love to explore and experience nature, which is especially accessible here in New Mexico. Something of which I am proud, but which usually elicits groans and significant eye-rolling is my love of puns.

Tambien me encanta aprender y practicar otros idiomas. Deberia agregar cuanto me gusta viajar y cnoer lugares nuevos y gente de diferentes culturas.

The first things people usually notice about me

Aside from a distinct (and apparently) increasing lack of hair on the top, it is hard to tell; I rarely examine myself that closely, and prefer to talk about others rather than about myself.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Best movie ever made is without doubt Casablanca; I need a "fix" at least once every six months or so. IN addition, I enjoy foreign films and (good) science fiction, time travel and adventure films.

My reading is somewhat eclectic, but I inhale books on history, (good) historical fiction, science fiction and poetry, which I am trying to take up writing again, after a brief lapse of, say, twenty years....

The six things I could never do without

1) My son
2) Intelligent conversation on a variety of topics (and no, I don't always want to agree with everyone else), ideally in smallish groups, or even one-on-one
3) Seeking and discovering new ideas, places, food...
4) Books
5) Sunsets of any and all types and colours
6) Did I mention my son.....?

I spend a lot of time thinking about

International relations, politics, economic, educational and social barriers and disparities - only wish I had some answers to the myriad of questions that occur to me.

Also, and more relevantly, I wonder how to begin dating again, after a lapse of approximately nineteen years; it would appear that the rules and even how people meet each other (i.e., this site) have changed dramatically, and I am finding the adjustment more difficult than I expected.

On a typical Friday night I am

Reading a book, putting my son to bed or taking a walk, especially in the fall and winter; I don't do well with extreme heat, even in this arid climate, although I have been told I am quite good at warming chilled toes and on occasion other appendages.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

As [shy as I am, I long to be with someone wise, witty and warm, with whom I may share thoughts, experiences, impressions and emotions and to learn more about life and love.

You should message me if

Anything I have said here is not beyond the pale for you, and especially if something I have written should pique your curiosity.

If you like old or black and white movies, spectacular sunsets]], [] mountains, oceans, traveling, trying new foods, seeing new places and experimenting with different ways of solving problems, I would love to chat online or even (now, this is risque) on the phone or (gasp) in person.
