I am happily single, but I've been spending too much time on my own and would like to get out more, socialize, and make new friends. In the process, I hope to learn more about my likes and dislikes, and finally meet someone who is right for me. I'm a bit eccentric, so that could take a while.

Educating the children of California. Reading as much as I can, enjoying a few favorite interests and hobbies.

crossword puzzles, defining words, solving problems, seeing in color, writing/editing/proofreading, telling jokes

Most say my smile and my sense of humor. I can be a snappy dresser, too, so I get compliments in that department. I suspect a lot of people (people being what they are) notice my big nose and/or bald head.

Books: I like nonfiction about social, political, and psychological topics, Kurt Vonnegut, and the classics of literature. My summer goal is to finish reading Shakespeare's comedies.

Movies: Marx brothers, classics, foreign, old sci-fi & horror.

Shows: Hoarders, Star Trek, Dragnet, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Doctor Who

Music: classical, Devo, Frank Zappa, Shonen Knife, punk/new wave. If it's weird and catchy, I like it.

Food: Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Indian, burgers

Let me think this one over and come back to it.

All kinds of things.

Catching up on chores, watching shows on DVR or Netflix.

A dating site on the internet is not the place to admit private things. Get to know me.

-my picture didn't make you cringe
-you like smart, funny guys
-you're smart and funny, too
-you're not a Republican
-you're not allergic to cats
-you might actually want to meet me, y'know, in person
