Describe Yourself:
Serious corporate guy, but lots of fun.
Have friends in many places ( I've worked in different parts of the country.)
When I make friends, I keep them. Still in touch with a tight group of guys from University.
Really diverse: love the country (horseback riding, hiking, canoeing, gardening, cycling, historical sites) and big cities (serious music, theater, and great food).
Somewhat posh (descended from long line of clergymen!), but have roots in small towns and the country.
Bookish (will argue through the night in cafes and lofts). Religious (Episcopalian) and adventuresome, love to travel and love to curl up at home. Set up movie nights with friends each winter.
Have done some writing -and been published. (Mostly professional stuff, not something from the drawer full of unfinished novels and poems.)
Like people who are calm and confident, committed to something - job, art, politics, spirituality, etc.
Can't deal with superficiality, screaming, bigotry, poseurs, etc.
Grateful for the great tide of good wine from all parts of the world, the consistently-great restaurants in my neighborhood (Flatiron), and for antique prints, ancient coins, rare books,and enameled glass with which my flat is littered.
