In His Own Words
About him
I’m an easygoing and (I believe) affable chap with a most fulfilling life. I’ve attained professional success and satisfaction in my field. I have the good fortune to make a living with words, which I relish. And I have the satisfaction of fatherhood, with two grown daughters I largely brought up on my own, and of close friendships. My main extracurricular enthusiasm is the arts: literature, the visual arts, and the performing arts, especially music and opera. It will sound a cliche, but it would be a more than a pleasure to share these things with a special person.
About his ideal match
Prescriptivism is always liable to be confounded in practice. But I would like to meet someone with intelligence, independence, aesthetic enthusiasm and intellectual curiosity, and with whom the tributaries of conversation would never run dry. It’s not an ambitious goal. There are lots of people in the world, and I only want one.
