The most important thing is just be nice.
That and just breathe.

The adventure is in the trying.

I am happiest when learning and acting to solve a problem for work,
or when listening to great live music.
Or learning something new about the music I love, which is almost everything from jazz and blues through Latin to Berber.
Or finding out about a new idea.
Or accomplishing a bit more in the yoga I began earlier this year.
Or learning about you, your interests, your preferences, your thoughts, once we've caught each others interest.

I scan the news, but prefer documentaries, such as Moyers, Frontline.

I like to stay active walking, running, yoga, hiking.

I'd like to learn to dance, or at least take a crack or dabble a bit at it.

It is said that time wounds all heals (Hey Abott!) and I suppose a little humor can go a long way, and it is said whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger (certainly to be questioned, at least as a broad stroke).
And from eastern sources, If you see the Buddha on the road, kill him. And an eye for an eye, for which I like what I understand hopefully correctly of the Jewish tradition of applying this phrase the best. They are all just words, and the meaning is truly in their proper or best understanding and practice, with a soft and warm and even sometimes sad heart, while without naivete, but always compassion. Sometimes compassion can feel difficult, hard, on oneself, and on other.

I am a civil engineer. It is not all of that I am.

Actually, a geotechnical earthquake engineer, but there's no youtube for it. Earlier in my career I did research and university teaching.

Thinking.

Ears, eyes, nose, and throat. Or is that just for otolaryngologists?
Sometimes my dimples.
After all that, often intelligent life and even some occasional wit.

I like cameras or more taking photos and seeing others photos.
I enjoy being completely engaged in art, music, an excellent movie, a very good book, or solving a practical technical problem (my life's work).
I'm curious about most things and enjoy listening to others interests, hobbies, or work.

1) Valuing my health, and so yoga, walking, hiking, meditating.
2) I appreciate learning and good scholarship - research, teaching, education, in all areas, all fields, science, engineering, medicine, languages, linguistics, and archeology, especially archeology relating to mythologies and indigenous cultures, and the "great" civilizations.
3) The example, teachings, and Sangha support of Buddhism, especially being present and nonaggression. I appreciate variations between Tibetan and Zen, and the additional support of tidbits of indigenous traditional teaching and the great civilizations philosophies.
4) Art.
5) Music.
6) Parks, trails.
Among art and particularly architecture, music, and science and engineering, I picked engineering, with a strong interest in the science behind it, as my professional field. If I were to choose something new to study, investigate, and learn from, I think it woud be mythological archeology and comparative and historical study of Buddhism Tibetan and Zen.
Oh, did I mention coffee and tea? Dark chocolate too)

What I'm really good at.

a concert, an art exhibit, with friend, or just winding down.

I learned to be an even better defensive driver that I already was, by taking a course in Omaha to deflect the points of a traffic infraction. It also taught me a couple of things about my personality, first , that I am positively proactive in my driving (old time term being a defensive driver), second, that I can afford to presume less that anything is just going through the motions, or i.e., to get rid of that little bit of occasional arrogance.

You are reasonably active, intellectually curious, enjoy music, art, and are interested in getting to know more about each other.
