I'm a crusty smart-ass with a very soft middle. I like to pamper women and put them on a pedestal -- to the point that they are often annoyed by it.

I enjoy traveling, skiing (water and snow), reading, cooking (I prefer to do all my own cooking), and sitting out on a lawn during a soft summer dusk.

Tall, lovely, dark hair, educated, avid reader, silly sense of humor, confident about herself, prefers quiet to noise and intimacy to crowds.
