Creative thinker/doer, avid reader, interested in politics and business, with a love of music, the well written and well spoken word, and driving.

The universe and I relish a good laugh, especially when it's mutual.

Browsing the Strand.

I can cook, with or without a lot of ingredients.

Spending way too much time here.

Finding a decent meal, apparent dive or fridge.

Got curiosity and an open mind, if ya want it.

WRITING between the lines.

Practice transcendental YOGI right here & now. OKC is deja vu all over again.

My UNMISTAKEABLE gift for UNDERSTATEMENT.

I think INSIDE the box, my glass is 1/4 EMPTY before it is 1/4 FULL, I am NOT comfortable in my own skin and I LIKE OLD [nicht 'Alt'!] country music.

Am really ELEVEN feet tall. Wear SIZE 29 shoes. Speak 22 LANGUAGES. Have 20-20-20(ha!) VISION - even at NIGHT.

I look 4 (count 'em) DECADES younger than I am. Often carded and sometimes confused for a JUNIOR high school truant.

My passport EXPIRED 3 years ago. Please do MACHU PICHU and BOTSWANA without me (GRAND CANYON, MISSOURI BREAKS, UWS acceptable alternatives, passport NOT required - except for UWS).

I EXCEL at self-promotion.

I DON'T get dry humor.

Keef's autobiography, 'Life'. Fun read. Hayek's 'Road To Serfdom' (wow!). Moxie's online dating commentary (wow!).

Lots of history lately about the Revolution and Founding. Founders knew BAD government when THEY saw it. Oh, for the good OLD OLD days.

Finally discovered Kitchen Nightmares on Hulu.

ZZTop, Beatles, Louis Armstrong, Ella, Count Basie, Oscar Peterson. Did I say Rolling Stones?

Rolling Stones.

Turkish, Greek, good BBQ!, Indian, home cooked, tasty stuff ....

Pssst - Why don't they ask about wine preferences here?

... the moist brisket at Hill Country.

Global COOLING (I'm VERY concerned).

Why so many women on OKC cite Shawshank as their all time fave movie (huh?? was good, but ... really?)?

(And while we're at it, why do so many cite parallel parking as one of the 'things they're good at'??)

Home DAMMIT! That's why I am HERE. Because I am HOME, not OUT or ON A DATE or IN A RELATIONSHIP. Ughh! (Sheesh!)

Other than that, walking, cooking, listening, surfing, reading, sipping, eating, sleeping, dreaming.

Like most other nights.

Really truly positively 'living my life to the fullest' and being on OKC constitute mutually exclusive states of being.

Would love to have ZZTop call and BEG me to play guitar with them in about 10 of their concerts. OK, 4 ...

2?

Stand offstage, guitar w/ no strings ... won't bother anyone?

Am I the only person who doesn't get the fingers extended stuff in pictures?

How embarrassed I would be to post really old pics.

Sorry, but sleeve tattoos are beyond ridiculous.

Have been referred to, in a certain wine context, as Mr Germany.

Who had the bigger impact on me, Soupy Sales or Bugs Bunny?

I will almost never initiate an OKC correspondence if NONE of her pictures show her smiling.

... mischief indeed loves company.

... or, you're an exceptional woman seeking a down to earth, creative and realistic man who gets stuff done.

... or, you think a wiseacre like me might enjoy reading your profile (not to mention, meeting you).

... or, you get the joke (please see previous option).

... or, you smell good.
