Date people from United States. who can say the right thing here? so not into cheesy stuff; don't have kids, want one; you must like cats; like to get out and be active but not fanatical about it; fiscally conservative; fiercely independent; (good lord, still not enough characters, huh?)
Meet men and women from Arizona, United States. About me: I work primarily in securities fraud and renewable energy (meaning I go after bad guys and plan the energy mix of the future). I lived on the ocean and grew up on the beach, in Honolulu, and worked in Washington, DC, for years. I graduated from President Obama’s high school (some trivia there; picture Dead Poets Society in the tropics) and went on to college in Berkeley and Cambridge. I’m increasingly involved in the music world in Arizona and back East (I serve as Chairman of the Board of a nationally-recognized opera company, but fear not; I listen to many types of music). I'm also heavily involved in philanthropic work, in the education arena. Pals say I’m outgoing (and I confirm this) and quick-to-laugh, with a dry, ironic, often irreverent sense of humor. I can also fix nearly anything around the house, including the roof (it's been done). But that's a story for another day.
Anyway, in light of friends' on-line success stories, I thought I’d give this a spin. I value brains, character and a sense of humor, and I enjoy women who are bright, easy-going, cosmopolitan, and kind.
I'm grateful to be at the point in my career in which I have the freedom to spend a good deal of time with family and friends. I appreciate witty and aimless banter and also lingering conversations with friends over dinner, on the issues of the day, and I’m an avid traveler and road-tripper: When I'm not at my cabin in the White Mountains, I'm likely exploring (or attending concerts in) NYC, DC, LA and elsewhere. When I'm in New York, I enjoy nothing more than grabbing a great dinner at Picholine and heading to the Met for the evening.
I also appreciate John Cheever's sensibility, which I'd say is mine, as well: "These stories seem at times to be stories of a long-lost world when the city of New York was still filled with a river light, when you heard Benny Goodman quartets from a radio in the corner stationery store, and when almost everybody wore a hat. Here is the last of that generation...who used to sail for Europe on ships, who were truly nostalgic for love and happiness, and whose gods were as ancient as yours and mine, whoever you are."
To me, this quote evokes the happiness that a life well-lived can entail. Please drop me a line if you agree.
