I am a slightly nerdy scientist with an off-beat sense of humor and a variety of interests. Working on two books but I haven't quit my day-job just yet. I seek beauty, wit, elegance and truth. I think that I am even-keeled, tolerant and have a love for life. I am not seeking a casual, meaningless relationship in spite of how good that sounds on paper. I am in search of a gentle soul who may see some redeeming qualities in me. I want to experience a true, mutual, intense, and lasing love before I keel over. Speaking of which; I like to sail. You can be the captain, just tell me which rope to pull (lines, sheets and halyards don't look like ropes to me)and say right or left instead of all that nautical jargon which will just confuse me and run us aground. If you win the arm wrestling contest, I will cook and vacuum for a year. I was married once and have a good relationship with my ex. And mutual custody of our 10 year old daughter. Slightly absent minded. I am told that I am funny and never vomit when inappropriate, but can't remember.
