To paraphrase the opening line of "A Tale of Two Cities": I've been on top of the world, and, well, not at the top. Such is life. Overall, I've become quite a well-rounded guy, with plenty of stories to tell, as well as an ear finely tuned to listen and learnn all about you. Just to follow through with my first words and tease, I've been a White House advance man, and experienced an unexpected tragedy a couple of years ago.

I tend to be drawn to younger guys. Aside from the obvious youth factor, I think it's also because I like to help people. At any rate, I'm now looking to get back into the dating scene. To someone reading this in their mid-20s, a reaction like, "he's too old for me, " would not surprise me. But time goes by quickly: I'm really the same guy as you, only with a little more life experience.

Hobbies of mine include cooking, politics and current events. Formerly, I was an acceptable piano player (though I only played Chopin!). I also write, but I'm a much better editor than a writer. I'm sort of this way in life generally I've come to realize; that is, I can't design a living room, say, but I can look at one that's already complete, and make just the right changes to it.

I aspired to become a professor of political science. I won't bore you with the details here, but I'm becoming a lawyer instead. Anyhow, I'm much happier studying for the LSAT rather than the GRE: You know, having to memorize all of those geometric theorems and crap! I'll get a more current pictue up shortly.

The first date will probably start innocent enough. I have to be physically attracted to you. We'll probably go for a drink (or coffee if you prefer). Let's get together and see how things unfold!
