I’m looking to meet someone new, but I don't have a specific goal (relationship-wise) in mind. I'd hope to find someone who's equally comfortable in a dive bar or a museum and is always looking to try new things. You’ve got to be able to laugh; I don't take myself too seriously and I hope you don't either. I can get along with just about anyone and have fun doing just about anything.

I work for a small financial group focused on renewable energy. I'll eventually look toward business school etc etc.

Snowboarding, falling asleep on the beach, arguing about healthcare/baseball/politics. I also roast a mean chicken and make a delicious ale 'n' onion soup. I wish I had actual musical talent, but guitar hero is about as far as it goes.

Maybe the blond hair. Let me know what you think.

Mexican, Indian, Japanese, Thai, German…. almost anything is good (though Korean food sucks). I like hole-in-the-wall restaurants, but the best is cooking at home with friends. Cooking for others is a favorite pastime...the spicier the better.

Mainly classic rock but it varies: Gomez, Aerosmith, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, 80’s pop/hairbands, Bob Dylan, State Radio, Metallica, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, Amy Winehouse, Jurassic 5.

In no particular order:

- Good bourbon
- Hanging out with my niece
- New Yorker subscription
- ESPN
- Led Zeppelin III
- Excellent hot sauce

.....what concerts are coming up.....what to cook next.....when I get back to living abroad.....

Usually going out harder than I should, hopefully instigating hijinx. Avoiding the high-octane club scene in favor of dive bars and the like. BBQ'ing as much as possible. Definitely with friends, usually in a t-shirt and jeans, but I can look the part when appropriate. Often at the same set of places (mainly out of habit), but the best nights involve discovering something new. At the risk of sounding crotchety, I like places where I can actually have a conversation with people around me.

I do a beautiful job wrapping gifts. It's a bit of a random talent, instilled by my mother.

Casual food/drink sounds appealing. Who doesn't like that?
