HEY, CUT THE REBOP !!!

About Me


jarcusa As Woody Allen said in Zelig: "I'd much rather watch a baseball game than read a great novel. It doesn't have to mean anything. It's just beautiful." Not into things too macho or too prissy, not into pretentiousness or gossip, not into people who are oblivious to the rest of the world, but I am into an arm around my shoulder, witty humor, humility, compliments, and the home team. Typical American mutt: ¼ Swedish, ¼ Italian, ¼ Irish & ¼ English. Three brothers, three sisters, I'm the oldest, lots of close family here in KC, Springfield, MO and Denver. Licensed attorney in MO, KS & CO. Worked in film production for several years in L.A. Also lived in Santa Barbara, San Francisco, Denver, St. Louis & Bordeaux, France. I'm a collector, cook, athelete, filmmaker, uncle 4 times over. Never married, no kids. NOBODY LOVES ME !!!
