Music, music, music...did I mention music? Bicycling (I have a short-wheelbase recumbent), computers, hiking, swimming, people watching, reading, volunteering at my church. And oh yes, music...

Ok, I'm also into the martial arts...seems like a contradiction, doesn't it?

Lately I've developed an interest in helping ladies understand the men in their lives...or just men in general. It's obvious that men and women are different...we think differently, and see the world in much different way. I'm not an expert by any means...but as I find something worth passing along, you'll see it in my blogs.

I also have a profile on MySpace... my screen name is The Hopeful Romantic...

No, ladies, I am NOT the guy your mothers warned you about... well... maybe a little. I believe that everybody has the right to make their own choices. I see the world through my own colored glasses, but I don't mind trying on other peoples glasses (within reason of course).

I love music...playing my horn (trombone) is part of who I am. I'm really getting into electronic music and am looking into getting an EVI/EWI...a kind of electronic instrument that allows horn players to play synth modules...very cool.

I believe that romance and relationship are inseparably tied together to make life rich, enchanting, and full of joy. Romance without relationship is like clapping with one hand...and relationship without romance can become teadious, stale...and very lonely.

Came here to make new friends, some that might even have a differing opinion about how the world should work. That's OK with me. I love to have fun and laugh...laughing is good...right? :-)

If you want to exchange ideas, chit-chat, talk about the weather, make a new friend and/or just have a little fun on the Internet, that's what I'm here for.

And if for any reason you'd like to know more about how my mind works...I will have various blogs that I'll loose the power of the mind on...as they say, a mind is a terrible thing to waste, but if you must, waste it in your blog where no one will see it...LOL
