I’m fun-loving. Down to earth. Easy going and easy to talk with. I’m quick-witted and self-confident. I’m serious when I need to be but I like to be playfully silly too. I’m active. I’m physically fit. I’m a nerd. And I’m a hippy.

Now, I’m a university professor. I used to be print journalist. I used to be a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer and I lived in a cinder-block hut at the edge of the rainforest in Belize. I used to be a journalism teacher in Singapore. I’ve backpack-trekked through Asia, Central America and Mexico. (My backpack is ready for more.)

My age-number is misleading. I’m far, far younger in spirit and mind. I stay that way by hanging out with lots of 20-somethings during my work week. (My students.) I’m raising a 12-year-old too. He’s my son, my one and only.

I’m using it to live it to the fullest. I live in the moment. I try to truly see it, feel it, experience it ... live it.

I’m good at lots of things. I’m not so good at others. You’ll find out which is which if we take the great voyage of interpersonal discovery together. :-)

Wow. I’ve never asked them. Perhaps you’d be willing to enlighten me on this.

Food: I tend to like it all. (I didn't like the yak-milk cheese in Nepal, though.) Music: I appreciate it all, although I tend to listen to rock, classic and new. Books: I read a lot of academic journals. (Uggg.) I just finished reading Steven Hawkings’ “The Grand Design.” I like re-reading the classics, too, like Hemingway, Poe, Homer ...

Hah! I’ve never thought about it. One can live without a lot of things that once seemed vital. I learned that serving in the Peace Corps.

Still, I’d not wish to be without my son.

I’d not wish to lose my mind; to be without my intellect, reason, rationality, sense of humor and all.

I’d prefer to be in the company of a wonderful woman.

I think about lots of things. And sometimes I’m just still ... letting my mind wander to wherever it will.

Typically, I’m interacting with my son. He’s with me half the week. Saturday nights are my nights free. All day Sundays too. (But I could arrange for a Friday night free.)

Good try ... But I don't know you well enough yet for that. ;-)

I've said something you dig. Or, if I've hinted at something you wish to explore. Or, if you like what you see. ...
