About

Husband – Father – Grandfather – Employed – Musician – Lazy – Dog Owner – Sentimental – Skeptic seeks secret identity or double life.

Age: 50+

Blood Pressure: 120/70

I am employed (if that’s not impressive enough for you, buzz off), I am a father (though my children are grown and independent, or at least close to it), I am often grouchy (though occasionally quite cuddly), I love my dog (Sometimes, He’s the only one who really believes I have a cuddly side), I am a grandpa (much cooler than I imagined), I play drums, guitar, mandolin, piano (Good enough to be sometimes snobby – but I’m uncomfortable calling myself a musician), I am a husband of more than 24 years (but maybe with good behavior…)

I am lazy (but conflicted by an ingrained middle-class work ethic), I am cynical (but have bouts of uncontrollable sentimentality), I attend church (but am skeptical), I like the outdoors (but find I don’t like to be long between clean bathrooms so much anymore), I am comfortable – at times downright giddy – with being alone (but people find me good company), I love movies – mostly independent, quirky movies. (Netflix rocks! – people who use “rocks” as adjective “suck”).  I like to read (but I may be dyslexic and suffer from attention deficit causing my reading pace and retention to be less than desirable.  That’s self-diagnosed-alternatively, I might be just stupid).  I like art museums and galleries (but I lack the sophistication to sustain lengthy intelligent commentary on the subject).  I am not a photographer, but I like to take pictures.  Some of them are here in the blog.

I am powerless to resist ice cream or cookies (but never eat them together). I over 50 and I still think about sex a lot (but not always involving ice cream or cookies.  [Update Dec 2009], I am now nearing 53 and I find myself thinking about sex a little less, but ice cream much more).

I might have a problem with parenthesis but I think I can quit any time I want (pffft – sure you can) HEY, I HEARD THAT!
