Though my current life is caught up in software (consulting, developing, managing), I'd rather spend much more of it in a different kind of "soft-wear"—a scuba diving wetsuit! Though Honduras, Australia, the Caribbean have been some of my favorite underwater haunts, I've yet to explore my own, just-moved-to-Southern-California backyard. Thailand is another goal, but it's probably a bit easier to drive up the coast, right? Hey, wait, now that I think about it, the So Cal weekend beach traffic can be pretty intense—maybe Thailand IS the better choice.I've worked with cougars and I swim with sharks. Not because I'm a tough guy, but because I know how to show respect for them, they allow me to approach. More spiritual than religious, this beach boy philosopher hopes you'll challenge me and my opinions. Though I welcome the thoughtful yet rowdy exchange, for pete's sake, don't challenge my cats. Felines Bandit and Bastet rule my roost and like a catty Ebert & Co., they have opinions of their own. But if you've got a kind heart and a good soul, I'm sure they'll think you're a purr-fectly great purr-son.Who am I looking for? Someone who shares my love of the sun and the ocean –even if you just like to swim and/or snorkel, that would be great. I'll even cook—wait till you taste my it-takes-two-days-to-make Greek pizza (a time-honored family recipe). We could explore this new land called Costa Mesa, but more importantly, through laughter and lots of honest communication, we could slowly discover each other.
