Love to ski ski ski the Rocky Mountains. I live here because I want to - I work from my home (sneaker commute).
Love to dance, love to sing, really enjoy live comedy (Comedy Works).
I savor good intelligent conversation - but know when to shut up, too. (This I've learned in the last 10 years.)

Lindsey Buckingham
Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham has recorded solo for the first time in 14 years with his old friends Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. Fast Focus features Lindsey's bare-bones look at what's going on in his life after the years rolled by. Buckingham, who at 57 now has three young children, says. "I've finally gotten married and am slowly shedding the dysfunctional
The Killers - Somebody Told Me
The Killers - Somebody Told Me - you had a boyfriend - looked like a girlfriend, I had last February. Heaven ain't close in a place like this.
This song seriously rocks... Because the singer, unlike a whole lot today - can really sing well. BOOSH.
Too many to mention...
Two moves that got panned recently, I really enjoyed. Lady in the Water - and The Lake House. I know, I know, but ya like what you like.
All time classic oldie favorite? Doctor Zhivago.
Television
What is television?
Can you find it on the Internet?
Books
Doing business online I read a LOT - always have. Most of what I read now is business, marketing, personal development. I think the best work ever on relationships is by "Harville Hendricks" Finding the Love you Keep, or Keeping the Love You Find. One for people in shitty marriages and the other for singles who want to find true love -
Listen - from what Hendrick's says - it's all about being willing to accept how we arrived emotionally to the place we are in now - and then being willing to get outside of that, own it, and love someone else enough to do the work.
This heals them - and in a miracle - heals us as well.
If you had parents - you could use some healing. If you had really awful, or smothering or abandoning parents, you need a LOT of healing.
I believe in this miracle and am looking for someone who does too - and is willing to do the work.
Too heavy? Too emotional? Too threatening and scary?
Well, there's always that emotionally unavailable drunk guy who isn't really an alkie, he just likes beer a LOT. Or long distance relationships, or just cyber dating - none of these will force you to face your own stuff - and maybe that's where you are right now. Not me.
Heroes
are hard to find...
-> The NY Fire Department
-> My daughter Rachael
-> Lindsay Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac guitarist)
-> Anyone fighting in our Armed Forces - God Bless YOU!
-> Everyday people (especially single moms) who just make the miracles happen without praise.
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who has learned how to think beyond their reaction to media sound bites.
Most people never consider the implications of what would happen if their shallow ideas were actually implemented.
(here you could put just about anything that funny men John Stewart - Bill Mahr or pols like Hillary, Osama Obama and the insipid John Kerry)
Like, maybe, read a book?
Here's an exercise that will deflate nearly any patently liberal idea.
As youself "If we did that - what would happen?"
Then what?
Then what?
When you think things through to the third level - if you are honest with yourself and not relying, for instance, on hopeful mytholog, like the inherent goodness and great hearts of Islamic fundamentalist terrorists to negotiate in good faith, you will soon see reality appear - as time reveals he truth of the matter.
The Lyndon Johnson Great Society was a wonderful fuzzy idea, based on the idea that if you poured millions of dollars into leveling the playing field for the poorest Americans by building new houses and massive entitlements - and it ended with an addiction to welfare so bad that even Bill Clinton had to vote to end it.
Oh, yes, and those housing "projects" were vandalized, cannabilized and have become even worse ghettos than the ones they sought to eliminate.
So, yes. I'd like to meet anyone who can think things through - cause when you meet someone with an original thought - it's interesting, real and fun.
And by the way - I am open to discussion on practically any topic - sifting ideas is the highest form of intellectual exchange.
