About Me
I am a man, therefore ... I am an idiot. But at least I'm neither boorish nor bloated with a puffed up ego, two of man's most common -- and God Awful -- characteristics. Unfortunately, I'm also neither rich nor handsome, unforgivable traits for women mining this site for gold, if not platinum. A woman once told me, "You're ordinary ... at best." So I've got that going for me. I'm 50ish, first fell in love at 18 (she was 19), and our love was Tracy/Hepburn ... Redford/Streisand ... Hanks/Ryan. She dumped me before it got really good (a terrible decision on her part!), and for the longest time I was sure nothing in life could ever truly matter as much to me again. Then I wrote "Bridges of Harrison County" but ... unfortunately ... someone had already written "Bridges of Madison County." Harrison, Madison ... what's in a name as long as the county has covered bridges?!?! So I was never a famous author, but in the writing I regained my life ... buried the past ... woke up one morning and ... just breathed ... again. Laughed again. Lived again. Okay, I still cry ... but mostly now it's over a good chick flick. Love "girly/girls" but adore any woman with a brain and a sense of humor.
I have a mind, and I love having it stimulated and challenged. I have a sense of humor because men are forever doing stupid things and we need to be able to laugh at ourselves or we'd all go insane. Besides, every man is forever a little boy, and we all know how much little boys love to laugh. I have a heart, and I need someone to crawl inside and fill the empty spaces there. I have an imagination, and I want someone to explore the limitless possibilities before we're too old to dream. I have passionate desires, and I enjoy a woman who understands the art of seduction and knows the right time and the right place to practice her craft. I have a body, and need the touch of a woman to arouse my playful nature and, in quiet times, to cuddle close and just touch me in soft and subtle ways that only she could. I love to play and would cherish a playmate. I understand love, the mystery of giving that leads to receiving, and if I'm really lucky maybe I will one day find a woman to share that love. I don't smoke, but would adore a woman who would share a cigar and a glass of brandy with me.
