Seven Days Personals - Introducing: Vermonters

Okay well I guess I would describe myself as unconventional. I have an affinity for highly-creative people and adventurers in general. That sometimes gets me into trouble. They (we) are often unpredictable.

I don't whitewater kayak anymore -- that was an intense five year period of my life -- but am generally up for an adventure. I've tramped and camped and paddled all over North America.

I'm an artist and author. I'm working on a book now of watercolors and reflections inspired by national wildlife refuges and national parks all over the country. My hobby -- hosting dinner parties every week or two. I try to get five interesting people together for an evening of great conversation. I've had CEOs of local companies, artists, filmmakers, Russian translators, hedge fund managers and wilderness protection activists as guests. I love to cook.

I'm way into music, particularly melodic jazz and classical music. And I listen to a lot of Van Morrison, Dylan, the Stones, Greg Brown, John Price etc.etc. So I guess all kinds of music.

I take my dog Fozzie Bear for an hour long walk every day along the waterfront. I have a truck camper, an apartment in downtown Burlington, a cabin deep in the Adirondack woods and an apartment in downtown Gainesville Florida.

I need a deep connection to be in a romantic relationship with a woman at this time of my life. That takes time. Unfortunately everything worthwhile in life takes time. I'm also open to friendship with interesting people living big lives. That takes time too I guess.
