Well, where shall we begin? I enjoy cooking, eating, traveling, and most of life's pleasures. I care about world events, and try to stay aware as a voter, a consumer, and as a human being. I have been self-employed since I was 17, and take great pride in my work. I'm very good with children. I love animals. I can be very romantic if I really like you! I'm in good shape physically. I love movies, especially good documentaries. I read some, but I should definitely read more. Nobody can make a dish spicy enough for me ... um ... I don't like cottage cheese. What else? Oh, and I've never been convicted of a felony :-)

I'm running my business, still playing live onstage when I can fit it in, traveling, raising my wonderful little boy, and trying to find you ... whoever you are.

... completing pre-formatted questions online. It brings out the inner-me!

I would say that generally I am very good with kids, a very good cook, good at poker and games in general, good at lifting heavy objects, good at sticking up for myself and for anyone in a moment of need, a very good listener (what did you just say?), good at staying calm in an emergency, extremely good at drinking IPAs, good with setting goals and sometimes even achieving them, good with my hands, and good at listing things.

I'm a pretty outgoing "A type" person I think. I imagine they notice this right off the bat. Unless they are A+, in which case they probably think I'm a follower.

... planning my next big adventure.

No two Friday nights are the same in my life. I may be overseas working on a show, at home reading a book with my boy, looking for a new favorite restaurant, or trolling for girls on the internet ... just kidding! I do that on Monday morning.

I've always wanted a circular bed. Does this make me a weirdo? I think I'll get one anyway, what the hell.

... you are ready for the ride of your life! Or you would just like to have a pleasant chat.
