About Me

Hrmmm... I'm a Leo, in the truest definition."You're stubborn yet impulsive. You're also showy, dramatic and sometimes vain. You have a sunny demeanor and love to be the center of your loved ones' adoration. You'd make a great actor"But seriously... I think I'm a pretty nice guy who tends to like hanging out with small groups of friends and taking it easy. I love to share (I always have a little somethin' somethin' for my friends). I love to travel, and have lived all over the country (Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Houston), yet still feel poorly traveled. I've lived in San Francisco for over seven years, and I can't imagine living anywhere else.I try to act all hip and worldly, but deep down inside I'm a geek and homebody. I also love running... I have done four marathons in the past few years.I'm serious when I need to be, but I try not to take everything in life so seriously.I'm gay, but unlike lots of folks I know in SF, I don't need to surround myself only with gay men.Your results:

My Interests

Running, watching television/making out with my TiVo, spending time outdoors, putting myself in debt eating at the best restaurants in town.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can entertain me. Just promise me that you don't play roleplaying games or are a computer game junkie.

Music:

Anything from 80's New Wave to Chill-out Electronica. Anything but country or rap for the most part. I'm a huge fan of Cafe del Mar and any Hed Kandi CD.

Movies:

I'm a fan of most Hitchcock films.

Television:

Oooh... my weakness. I am a sucker for any bad reality show, whether it's America's Next Top Model or Top Chef. But my favorite current shows are Weeds and Entourage, and I feel that The Daily Show is required television.

Books:

I'm illiterate.

My Blog

11 November -- Martini House****(+.5), St. Helena, CA

Okay, I should give this place a full five stars (but I'll do four and a half -- I mean, this isn't the French Laundry).  Why?  Our waiter, Geoff.  He had the most adorable smile. ...

12 November -- Citizen Cake***, San Francisco

Okay, the food was pretty good.  But I must admit, service sucked.  We had high hopes when we got there, for they were willing to call us on our cell phones when a seat would open, leaving m...

8 July -- Okada*****, Wynn Las Vegas

I am very fortunate to live in a city like San Francisco where you can get fresh fish and amazing sushi.  Every city Jim and I visit, we try the sushi.  Whether it's New York City or Paris, ...

7 July -- Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill***, MGM Las Vegas

Not worth going out of the way (I must admit, I was enamoured by Joel Rubichon next door, but I wasn't game for a $350 tasting menu for this day), but stop by for a snack.  Really one thing to ge...

7 July -- Mixx***, Las Vegas

The view alone makes this place worth visiting.  I was warned that the food was so-so, but I really liked it.Mixx is an Alain Ducasse restaurant atop TheHotel.  I went there with my sister D...

3 July -- Aziza****, San Francisco

Okay, it seems like all of my friends have a blog where they rant about politics, their jobs, whatever.  I decided that I'm going to stick to what I know well for my postings.  Welcome to my...
