Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I love the change of seasons and exploring life. I play music whenever I can--in a band, I'm a bassist/vocalist. I like to play guitar at open stages occasionally, and I'm teaching myself about recording. I'm hoping to meet someone with whom I can enjoy good company and great conversation. I believe that a good person to know is someone who pushes you and challenges you and teaches you without knowing they're doing it.

Where are all the good guys? Here's one. I'm intensely loyal--never been a cheater. I volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and Junior Achievement.

Looking for an intelligent, attractive woman who wants to have fun. Meet for coffee and see if there's any interest in maybe going for a horseride, or exploring a cave, or riding a river in a canoe. Tuna tartar and a bold red wine, then a night of live music and a couple stouts sounds awesome, too.

Or, maybe a stroll through the Wexner Center?

Low stress. High fun.

That's where I'm headed...

Wanna come along?

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I have a hamster named Hammy Houdini. You want the full story? That, and the fact that my profile age is my "REAL AGE" as determined by one of these tests. I'm on the other side of the big round numbers. OOO SCARY!
