Hey there. I am Long Island born and bred and New England educated. I'm 43, an epicurean and dilettante by nature, divorced, no kids, an attorney and Jewish. Dark hair, hazel eyes and an athletic build. I love animals, books, music and the arts as well as my sports teams- the Knicks, Mets and Jets. I'm an avid golfer and tennis player and have a dry quirky sarcastic sense of humor. I have a cat. Love listening to WQXR. Bagels, coffee, Bach and the New York Times on Sunday morning. Favorite quotes- Youth is the best time to be rich and the best time to be poor. -Euripides. Books should be the ax to chop the frozen sea within us. -Franz Kafka

Ninja and vampire hunter in training. Practicing law. Trying to stay in shape. Spending time with friends and family. Browsing book and music stores. Hanging out in dive bars. Trying to be spiritual. Taking care of my cat Sasha. Endeavoring to live my life with passion, compassion, humor, dignity and respect.

Golf and tennis. Writing and spelling. Games that involve strategy like chess. Scrabble. Trivia and pop culture. Fantasy sports. Naming films, actors and directors. Dispensing useless legal advice.

My sparkling personality and semitic good looks.

Intense dramas. Long epic novels and films. Horror movies. Short stories. Classic rock, alternative, hard rock, grunge and metal. Jazz, classical music and opera. Existentialism. French and Russian literature. Ancient and medieval history. Stories about the American South and West. Cheese, red wine, scotch, steak, seafood, pasta, Thai, Greek, Mexican.

Coffee, books, music, laughter, integrity and my cat.

Nothing and everything. My life. People I know. Existentialism. The future. Women. Sex. Money. Black holes and superstring theory. Will the Jets ever win the Super Bowl? Ha ha ha.

Relaxing at home or out with friends. Chillin with some music or a movie. Out at the movies or a show. Dinner with family. Playing with the cat.

I'll tell you in person.

Any of what I wrote resonates with you. Youre adventurous and open minded. You want to get a drink and see where it goes. You like to have fun. Life is meant to be lived with gusto and passion.
