In a struggle to write the wittiest, most clever self-summery ever, I chose instead to just say hello.

Hi there.

Rather than go on about my favourite books, films, music etc. ; or list the shining points of my personality; or open up about my "deep, spiritual" nature and how I feel life is a glorious adventure - blah blah blah, let me just reiterate my greeting - Hello.

Single again after what seemed like an entire lifetime (15 years married), I have returned to New York, and am picking up where I left off. In a sense, waking up again and enjoying life.

I am gainfully employed in the performing arts - keeping the world safe for classical music ! I also play a pretty mean guitar, but in a nice way.

not bragging about myself. well, except for the guitar assessment (see above).

Could be my eyes
Could be my humorous outlook on life
Could be my eyes look funny

And here is the section where I can go on about my favourite books, films, and music (food, not so interesting to me).

Well, the list is long and ever expanding. A few notable entries to give a hint :

Film - works of Federico Fellini, Woody Allen, Tim Burton, intelligent comedies, insightful dramas, and Bond films

Books - Dyslexia plays havoc with my reading, but some favourites are F. Scott Fitzgerald, Mark Twain, The New Yorker

Music - Here is where the list will get very long if I don't stop myself, so, just a few - Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Sex Pistols, Mozart, Wilco, Clash, T Rex, Tom Waits, Rolling Stones, New York Dolls, Louis Armstrong, Johnny Cash . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Music
San Pellegrino Water
Fortnum & Mason's Earl Grey Classic
Laughter
Good Sleep
Good Company . . .

my thoughts. or, sometimes something else.

looking for something atypical to do, though I have no idea what typical is.

I was raised by a German Shepherd - Ok, not too private, as anyone who knows me knows this fact, but still, it is a little odd to put that on a dating site.

you are interested in what is behind my goofy answers to these profile questions; you like to laugh; you like intelligent conversation; you like to laugh at intelligent conversation; and if you are interested in making new friends - more can be determined . . .
