It's not where you are, but where you're going; life's an adventure, so enjoy it

About Me

People tell me that I should have been a comedian due to my deadpan delivery and observations about life. It does tend to get absurd at times; think Dave Barry, and you'll understand where I'm coming from. I take work seriously; after all, it's how I earn my living. I'm an auditor, so I tend to make people nervous. I try to keep things in perspective though since you can't take everything too literally, otherwise, you'll make yourself crazy. I try to be diplomatic -- it's a better strategy for work and personal relationships. Remember, it's all about honesty and integrity. I don't like head games since I'm too old for that. That's about as direct as I can make it, so I hope I'm coming across loud and clear.

My Interests

Photography, travel, fine dining, and having fun. Always be spontaneous -- the best kind of prize is a "surprise"! Oh, don't forget -- I'm interested in women, too -- I'm not dead yet!

I'd like to meet:

People who are real and down to earth. No attitudes please as I don't have the time or desire to stroke your ego. If you're a hater, you don't belong here. If you're into drugs, you need to move on since I won't deal with that either. If you like to have a good time and enjoy life, that's fine. Remember, respect is a two way street, and I'll always treat you well if you show me that you're for real. If you cross the line, you're done.

Music:

My taste in music is varied... I like everything except hip hop; it's not my style. As far as artists, I like Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Elvis Costello, and many more.

Detective fiction -- Mickey Spillane, John Sanford, and Lee Child; Psychological thrillers -- I want to be scared -- I need my fear!

Heroes:

My parents and grandparents -- they're gone now, but I always remember what they taught me.
