{Prologue: I understand many ladies don't like to be the first to make contact.......So :-) if you'd like me to contact you, just send the words "banana split" to me and I'll take it from there. Unconventional eh?}

I Am

a traveler, 7 countries and 26 states. {Several people asked so:
USA, Costa Rica, Panama, Denmark, Sweden, Japan
and South Korea},
an Engineer,
teacher of Aikido,
rider of motorcycles,
hiker of trails.
Lover of theatre,
classical music,
and sailboats.
Football fan (not NFL but FIFA the REAL Football)
Target shooter,
Non-violent Anarchist with strong Buddhist beliefs (I stumble down the Eight Fold Path seeking the Four Noble Truths),
Father of two (I had custody but now they're grown and gone, thank Fate).
ENTJ if it matters.
Friend to the Unitarian Universalist Church.

I welcome Quality people into my life. You should know, I'm hetero but not homophobic. While my choice for a sexual partner would be female, my preference for cultural or activities partners is based Quality characteristics, not genitalia.

I'm not interested in helping you with your secret affair, even if you are a 'World Class Mattress Dancer'. I value my integrity too much and respect your partner's marksmanship.

Yes, I do understand and embrace Ethical Non-Monogamy. While I would consider Sexual Exclusiveness for the right person, I would never give up my Circle of Quality Friends.

Delighted to have a Circle of Quality Friends! If you're a Quality Person we'll scoot over and make room for you.

Note: While I welcome Quality Friends from all over the world, I'm happier here in Albuquerque than anywhere else in the world. It would be very difficult for me to relocate. Not impossible for the right lady, but difficult.

I can flip a pancake without a spatula.
Compromise without conflict.
Aikido and Jujutsu.
Engineering.
Making small holes appear on paper targets from long distances.
My "baggage" fits in one small carry on.

I absolutely refuse to feed the Drama Llama and know that with regard to jealousy, the only way to win is NOT to play.

The people who know me, know that "You can't make him do what he knows is wrong and you can't stop him from doing what he knows is right".

I can "change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly."

Heinlein, Hamilton, MacDonald, Craig Johnson, Steig Larson. Steve Perry (the writer not the singer), Carl Haissen.

All three Lizbeth Salander's,
Atlas Shrugged (after waiting 30 years)
Clan of the Cave Bear (yes I know it was cheezy),
Elementary (great ! be sure to see it Thursday night if you haven't), Big Bang Theory (bazinga),
Two and a Half Men (yes I know.......guilty pleasure)

KHFM most all day long. Pandora. PBS, NPR.

Indian, Thai, Japanese, and once a year Korean (ask me the story)

A challenge
A (long distance) relationship with my kids
My Mac, iPhone and iPad
Cultural activities
Exercise
Albuquerque, Land of Enchantment
An opportunity to learn something new for this Eternal Student

Yes, I know its Seven, I don't follow arbitrary rules.

OK, here's the small print. We would not be a good match if you:

If you agonize choosing between the light blue blouse, the dark blue or the medium blue one.
Smoke, do hard drugs or drink to excess
Have a dog or cat sleeping on your bed
Feel the need to 'save me'
{Thank you very much for your offer but, I'm not lost}
Can't stand beside a person of another race
Need a U-haul for your baggage
Are a couch potatoe
Can't 'agree to disagree'
Are a far right conservative or far left liberal
Won't take responsibility for the consequences of your actions.
Are vanilla or have no interest in sexual expression.
Are Hoplophobic

These things are NOT required but if you have them
you go to the FRONT of the line.....

You don't follow the herd
Like an adventure instead of the routine
Are healthy and active
You are bisexual
Wear little or no make up
Have short hair or shave your head (yeah yeah I know, big chance)

Looking for you........Why are you hiding?

About the income question, I started working when I was 12. I've earned $1,000,000 since then......... ;-)

I'm not taking any more IQ tests........I get older and the score gets lower............

You should contact me if you are a Quality Lady seeking a Quality Gentleman

It is my desire to have a partner for an Egalitarian Relationship in Cultural, Domestic and Financial Matters. My match sexually would be a lady with a bedroom switch personality.

{ And kudos if you read all the way through. I'll reward you with pie and pepsi at Village Inn :-) }
