Date a man from Mill Valley, United States. I'm not going to bore you by telling you how wonderful I am by attaching to my name a bunch of flattering adjectives. I have baggage/skeletons, don't we all? I will say that I am a very easygoing guy, and not too ambitous. So, I'll start with some "bad" stuff – I am impulsive and restless at times, I'm afraid of mice, I swear too often, I watch too much TV, I've been quitting smoking for years, I am supremely annoyed by bicyclists who poach my car's road (I want to clip them at times, but have avoided doing so), I stay up way too late way too often. I have little patience for flakes and phonies – those who smile while being angry, or laugh a few seconds too late. Enough of that...
I enjoy cooking, owned a restaurant in a previous lifetime. I am a former tennis fanatic, sidelined 3 years ago by a knee injury.I've been an avid reader all my life, read all the classics many years ago, and now enjoy mysteries and thrillers, and a little historical fiction. I love traveling, been to 4 continents, about 14 countries. Italy, Brasil, British Isles, and Australia are my favorites, but I enjoyed all the other places as well. I am apolitical, and I avoid the news as much as I can. I am a good listener.How about you? What annoys you? And what gives you goosebumps?
You are curious about the world around you, and new places both close and far away. You can take a joke and are not easily offended. You believe that light sarcasm is a spice of life, and have highly developed sense of humor. You can spell, you're not addicted to texting, and are generally happy. You enjoy music, which does not include rap or hip-hop. (I play guitar and piano adequately.) You would not be offended if I am an avid (rabid) NY Yankees fan, because I am. Watching a game as I type these words...
I don’t think it matters what we do on a first date/meeting, and I since I enjoy simplicity, a coffee/tea and walk would be just fine.

Meet someone special from Mill Valley, United States. I was born at an early age of mixed parents ... man and woman. Since then, my life has been a seemingly unending series of sunrises and sunsets.
Descending from a grandfather who was a madcap inventor, built an airplane with the Wright Brothers, launched rockets with Robert Goddard and at the end of WWII, was sent to Germany where he vetted the surrendered V2 rocket scientists and brought back Werner von Braun (Project Paperclip) . . . as well as a father who was a Big10 & NCAA tennis champion, I am a well educated, experienced, lovable and capable one-man-band . . . who can still play in a full symphony orchestra . . . no I can't get you a deal on symphony tickets, as some have asked . . . that was a metaphor.
My kids are grown, one a professional fashion photographer and the other a mother, shop keeper, restaurant owner and events producer living in Mill Valley with her husband and their three children.
I am semi-retired from the film production and computer graphics business and still spend a lot of my time in front of a computer screen or behind a camera . . . as well as working on my cruising sailboat . . . a hole in the water into which I dump money . . . another metaphor.
I currently share my home-alone time with a loveable wire-haired German pointer that I rescued five years before she rescued me. But there is plenty of room and time for more love in our lives. We think we have a lot to offer in return.
