About Me I value relationships, and connections with other people. I am a father of five grown, well balanced, adventurous children. We are very close. I like being around good hearted, open minded people who take an active interest in what is happening around them. I don't have much patience for the intentionally ignorant, or those who are "certain", only because of ignorance. If you fit into that category, your patience with me will not last, because I will challenge you. I try to change daily, to learn, and to grow. I read alot, and listen to books when I can't. I like to do research. I like to go and see for myself. I have been known to go off on tangents. My curiosity takes me places. How about yours? I am a very loving, affectionate person. I am very tactile. Do you like being touched, being held, being slowly kissed? I believe that intimacy is one of the greatest gifts that this life has to offer, but it is powerful, and should not be abused. I like to laugh, and I joke around allot. I like to play like a child when I get the chance. I like to play act. You'll know what I mean if you ever hear my answering machine. However I can get deadly serious if I see someone being abused, harmed, or cheated. I like cars and motorcycles. I am a reformed gear head. That is, I am not into gratuitous waste and destruction. I live on the earth as lightly as I can. I believe in taking care of our Mother, not abusing her. I am very interested in history. I am also deeply interested in our future, and know that we all have our own part in making that future. I live in, and I enjoy the present though.
