A longtime female friend once told me that there are at least four
layers to go through before you get to know the real me. Since that
can't be achieved over the Internet, I'll have to employ a few
platitudes. Let's see...I'm smarter than the average bear but I
don't hit people over the head with it. If I like you a lot then
I'm extremely affectionate and hope you are too. Laughter gets me
through most days -- and the occasional night. I like "Masterpiece
Theatre," but also ESPN. I love Mozart, Faure and Copland, but also
Pat Metheny, Chris Botti and Thomas Stanko. My father was a Brit
and I have lived abroad so I have a bit of the European in me (not
necessarily the most popular thing to say these days, but it's the
truth, so there you are). I visit the gym fairly regularly and have
for more than a decade, not because I love being in the gym (I
don't – I'd rather go hiking in Topanga State Park), but because I
hate myself if I don't go. (Like General Patton, I don't like to
fight for the same real estate twice.) Intelligence is sexy.
Nurture is lovely. Integrity is essential and so is conversation.
Love is friendship that has caught fire. Having sex is not the same
as making love. Flowers often have little to do with romance.
Loyalty is a pleasure, believe it or not. So is holding hands.
There is no such thing as too many hugs.
