I no longer carry more baggage than the Queen of England traveling abroad; I make Cyndi Lauper look like a snappy dresser; I learned to fold shirts while working for The GAP in London; My first car was the color of pumpkin pie; I have the patience of Job, the compassion of Mother Theresa and the warmth of Burl Ives all rolled into one lovable package; You'll never have to slouch while I'm holding the umbrella; My favorite artistic technique is finger painting ...

But seriously, I have a strong sense of humor. I know when to laugh at myself and do so to keep the light for myself and others. I'm optimistic. Life is half-full. I'm very people-oriented. One of my great strengths is my ability to communicate and talk readily. Since all strengths may be overused at times, I sometimes talk too much ...

I'm looking for a woman to storm the palace with; Who thinks I'm all right in a limited way for an off night; Who's sunny and wise; Who'll come riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames; Who knows just how low a human being can go; Who doesn't worry about what is worse or what is best; Who wants the lot of what I've got, and nothing that I'm not; Who knows the end is not as fun as the start; Who knows the more you see the less you know ...

I'm looking for a feeling of security; an environment relatively free of conflict; sincerity; a little status quo ... a best friend.

Love. Harmony. Happiness
