Passion, truth, love, my wife's happiness, knowledge, words, communication, smiles on our children's faces, freedom, fair behavior, stimulating conversation, excellent food, views that take your breath away, grand movie experiences, slow music you can't sit still to, rhythmic music so harmonic you cannot move to it, wine that gives you goose bumps, original thoughts, the constant attempt of trying to get a 25th. hour into a day, speaking Italian without necessarily having had a drink, and above all, seeing my words give pleasure to others.

I'd like to meet:
I'm the kind of guy who always just wanted to live on a deserted island with my dog and a computer, so that I could write till my fingers bled. I was never a big fan of people, but I have come to understand the value of having good friends and people around me who understands my passion and respects me for who I am. I'd like to meet people with integrity and honor, people who like to read, people who live through their words and deeds, and people who have heart. I am also very interested in people with a great sense of humor and a healthy appetite for life.

Heroes:
I go by track record, so in politics it would have to be Franklin D. Roosevelt, Bobby Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and Rudy Giuliani. I also greatly admire economist Bjorn Lomborg and the world's finest economists who gathered at The Copenhagen Consesus to try and map out a way to deal with the worlds' problems. Whether you agree with them or not, it takes a lot of courage these days to go against the mainstream war machine of the environmentalist movement.
In sports my undivided tribute goes to the late, great Reggie White. In entertainment there are absolutely no heroes. In my family there is only one obvious choice, and this is going to sound corny, but it's my wife. I have never known anyone who can follow their dreams, pursue their careers, and take care of their family with such vigor and such devotion, and still be the person with the biggest heart and most integrity in the entire world. I wish I was half the person she is, and I am working on it every day.
