I am a man who loves cats. That means you can trust me.

Ici on parle francais.

I have lived in France twice. The first was 1996-97, when I spent a year in Rennes, studying French. The second time was actually more significant to me, though. I lived in Nancy, the capitol of the Lorraine, and had my own apartment in the old part of town (see my pictures for a photo of the square where I lived). I taught English at a university that year, and went to a lot of restaurants, and several great bars, including our group favorite, la Cabane du Brasseur, on the market square. They make their own organic beer, which is cloudy and sweet, but good. Don't drink too much of it, though, or as one of my British colleagues put it, "it'll make you shit for England."

Someone to go to see movies with. See my cinematic preferences above.

Intelligent people who play with words.

People with a good sense of humor.

Miranda July.
