All my life I've been collecting treasures; snatches of poetry, wonderful books, music, great movies and TV shows, secret and beautiful places to walk. I hope to find a woman to share those treasures with, who will share their treasures with me in return.

I'm a geek, but you probably couldn't tell by looking at me; I look more like a football player, although I have no interest in sports. I love imaginative tabletop RPGs, and have run quite a few of them. As a bibliophile with a good memory, there are thousands of books in my head. I love to read aloud to my son.

Politically I'm very much a leftist and environmentalist, but I'm not doctrinaire about it. As the full-time single father of an older teen (I've been divorced for six years), the future of the Earth is deeply important to me. I'm an atheist, but not the aggressive kind. Outreach and understanding is more my style rather than confrontation.

I love to laugh, cook, dream, and read. I walk by rivers and streams when I can; water fascinates me. I'm a cat person. An omnivore, but a picky one. Kids smile at me, and I smile back. Occasionally I write a bit of poetry or a story.

I don't smoke or drink; I have nothing against alcohol, but I don't like the taste of it. I've been told by many people that I'm remarkably kind. Those people must have somehow missed my dark sense of humor.

Recently I discovered that I'm probably demisexual. For me, a real emotional connection is an absolute prerequisite for a physical one. If that sounds weird, I understand. I'm still trying to figure it out myself!

Born a redhead but bald for many years now, still a bit chunky but working on it. I've been called cute. I'm self-aware enough to feel weird about talking so much about myself here, but I still hope for magic!
