I would describe myself as adventurous, ambitious, intelligent, artsy, healthy, cultured. I'm equally comfortable at the symphony, art museum, coffee house, on the bike trail, hole-in-the wall, at home on the couch, or with a group of friends. You should be comfortable with someone that has a wide range of interests and wants to keep learning and experiencing new things. That's what life's all about!

I'm a published author, and you can find my cook book on Amazon among other places. 118 pages of deliciousness.

I'm an INTJ, so if you base your life on Jungian Archetypes, you may want to take this into consideration.

I'm transitioning into a new phase of my professional life, from medicine to food (I haven’t given up my day job yet, and I’ll give you details if you’re interested), and I have to spend some extra time on that. But I'll always make time for the right person.

Cooking, writing music, writing, shaking Martinis, trivia, espresso, throwing cocktail parties, riding my bike really fast, La Calçotada, drinking vino tinto from a porrón (many bonus points if you know what that is), and some other stuff you might find out on your own...

My Ray-Bans......then my eyes.

Movies: Metropolis, Farenheit 451, This Island Earth, Fail-Safe, any Pink Panther movie with peter Sellers, Rear Window, Touch of Evil, and lots more.

The farthest reaches of the universe, Pangaea Ultima, cognitive consonance, or food and wine pairings, depending on my mood. Why Meatless Sunday makes infinately more sense than Meatless Monday. The difference between passion and drama;please have at least some of the former and little of the latter. Not having a mid-life crisis, because mid-life has turned out to be the best part yet.

Out for cocktails and dinner, or in for cocktails (I have a private cocktail lounge...no, really), or the symphony, or First Friday, or some live music, home in the studio (for my music) or kitchen, taking photos of the Moon, whatever sounds fun.

I don't know how to swim.....

..you've made it this far!
