I am a life long student of nature, always delighted by what is going on in the sky, or on the ground around my feet. Fossils, stars, wildflowers, bugs, mushrooms, thunderstorms and waterfalls are a big source of amut for me. My favorite activities include sailing, canoeing, kayaking, skiing, bicycling, and hiking. I have paddled rivers, swamps, and coastlines, climbed and skied mountains, and backpacked in wilderness areas throughout North America. I am computer literate with an Apple Mac bias. I have had a career/business in horticulture. I am seriously interested in writing, photography, and doentary film. I have eclectic taste in art and music, and I love to cook (cooking is foreplay for eating). I am looking for a companion that enjoys spontaneity and values serendipity. You can’t be afraid of getting sweaty or dirty (work or play). Are you someone that knows that the most important erogenous zone is located between one’s ears? Opinions are good, provided you don't mind defending them based on what you have read and carefully considered. Honesty, curiosity, humor, and playfulness are good qualities.
