My self-summary
I'm a 52-year-old man, not nearly as serious as my profile photo, a creative guy, writer, editor, singer and more, a single dad of a wonderful nine-year-old. I love beauty and dwell on the positive. I shoot photos and admire skies, hold my daughter's hand as she gets to know the world. My other hand longs to hold yours, actually, as we explore these hills and valleys.
What I’m doing with my life
I'm raising my daughter, earning a living as a freelance writer, strumming my guitar, enjoying San Francisco, dreaming of meeting a wonderful partner in crime ...

Getting down to brass tacks;
Going out to dinner;

The six things I could never do without
My daughter.
Hills.
Beaches within, say, 10 miles.
Dogs and babies.
Love, or the dream of love.
Italian food.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
The truly limited amount of time we have in these bodies.
On a typical Friday night I am
making dinner for my daughter, maybe watching a movie with her, putting her peacefully, happily to bed -- and then sliding out when the babysitter arrives to catch a great band or literary reading somewhere!
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I'm pretty much an open book .... but I guess I could share that I sometimes sleep with a pillow over my head. Not sure what that accomplishes.

You should message me if
you're a happy woman who yearns for the company of a warm, creative, passionate, mellow man and his sweet-as-pie nine-year-old daughter. You must be light of heart, have a sense of humor, be left-leaning, not too materially-inclined -- and be pretty on the inside and out. Is that too much to dream?
