A well meaning Texan who has a genuine thirst for life & the finer things that make it up. I feel life is way too short to not try to really experience and enjoy it. I try to be open minded about things so I don't have a long list of deal breakers like so many profiles I've noticed. Generally an optimist and a postive outlook on life.

Trying to enjoy it as best I can while hopefully contributing to society in some meaningful way too. Practiced law for several years and still do occasionally but I tend to concentrate on securities and financial activities these days. Also have a lot of experience in tax reduction strategies for commercial real estate owners, and No I'm not an accountant.

I like many outdoor activities, been playing golf since I was 12 and tennis even longer, though that tends to be on and off - would like to get back into it more. I also love skiing and driving along the coast to Malibu or beyond. Of course I love travel like most people and have been to over 30 countries, unfortunately most of that was not that recent. I'm looking for a fun travel partner - interested ?

knowing a lot about (rock) music, current events, financial topics, sports, history, geography and general knowledge - in other words, I kick ass in Trivial Pursuit. Any challengers ?

I am usually pretty friendly and open and can hold my own on a lot of topics. Upbeat and in a good mood most of the time and generally a positive and outgoing personality.

Music, sunshine, friends, knowledge, good food and last but not least, women. Oh yeah - Caller ID also.

The meaning of life and what's next.

No one thing - having drinks and/or dinner with friends or listening to live music; or if in a relationship, spending quality time doing something we both want to do.

I am willing to give others the benefit of the doubt, but I don't have room in my life for those who drain your energy. For others see the questions re sex - there's plenty of privacy busters there :-)

You like to laugh and have fun and you appreciate someone who tries to keep an open mind and see things from the other person's perspective. I may not be into EVERYTHING you are into but I am willing to try them. Hope I at least get Brownie points for that.
