traveling, exploring foreign places with just my natural interest and a few sheckels in my pocket, playing guitar, listening to great music, the Spanish Steps, discovering new music, seeing the Allman Brothers 35 times at the Beacon every March, scrabble (for my inner nerd), high stakes poker, the occasional movie, photography, surfing, getting tattoos, the company of friends, Sean Hannity Sean Connery and Sean Cassidy (a joke), spending time in places I may very well not belong, being the best damn person for the job, reading, dining out

I am a self-made middle-class nobody. I have twins - a boy and a girl. I dress as well as my bank account will allow. I should be taller for my weight. If I had Trump's money, I'd have better hair - and Melania. I was 22 when I finally grew up. I'd have graduated first in high school if I'd have given it just a little eency weency bit of effort. I did it in college. I still think some of my old teachers were out to get me. I'm better than most people at what I do. I still kind of suck at scrabble, but I enjoy a good game even when I get beat. Poker is an addiction. I love exploring. I've been all over the world. I lived in Asia. I moved back to New York. I still don't know why. I took a 24 hour trip to Rome on a whim - just to say I've been there - and to visit Gino. I'm thinking about doing Barcelona next. I am always on the lookout for people from my past. I'd love to get to know who most of them are now. The nice ones anyway. I never know what tomorrow holds. None of us does. It's better to be a good person and live for today. For some people, winning the lottery means becoming wealthy beyond their wildest dreams; for others, it means getting hit by a bus. I used to make people wealthy for a living. I quit because I didn't get paid much. I'm happy. I bet I'd love quilting. I have played squash. I'm a Hilton Honors Diamond Member. I look forward to my next trip. I've surfed in Hawaii. I've never been bitten by a shark. I have been stung by a stingray. I would never work for a French company. I have slippers that look like lions. I would REALLY like to be a cast member on Saturday Night Live. I think I could make it funny again. I love Italian food. I won't eat snails. I disagree with politics, but I love debate. I sometimes wear a smoking jacket. I like to gamble. I tend to ramble when I'm tired. It's 2:14 AM...

I want to meet anyone who has a damn good sense of humor. Truth be told, I'm all talk. I just wrote that bit in the about me section. I'm too tired to think of who I want to meet. If you think it was interesting, I'd probably want to meet you. Drop me a line.
