I'm surgically snoreproof, I have over 450,000 frequent flier miles and I've turned a bedroom into a closet. I'm so intense, I make Jello nervous. My goal in life is to live south of I-10. I need someone to put up with all of this. In all seriousness, my friends would say I am an emotionally deep person, very sensitive, and understanding of others. My women friends call me a "sweetheart" or "sweetie." I am thoughtful, reflective and choose my words carefully. I give others the benefit of the doubt. I have no patience, however, for behavior that is mean, overly critical or otherwise indulgently self-absorbed.I read avidly to keep abreast of political, business and cultural events and trends. Not too long ago, I finished saying Kaddish for each of my parents for two successive years. My friends say I set standards of caregiving very few could or would ever try to meet. I have no siblings. I'm a risktaker both professionally and personally. I would risk a lot to find the right relationship.
