I spend a lot of time outdoors. I kayak, hike, bike, birdwatch, and love meeting all my wild neighbors. The year before Covid I also started taking surfing lessons.
I write and advocate for causes I care about and have had some successes. The circus no longer comes to my town, there's a beautiful preserved forest that does NOT have a cell phone tower, there's a large city park where ALL smoking is banned.....
My favorite issues are environmental, animal rights, and those concerning poverty and human rights. I think in another life I must have been a peasant in a peasant uprising.
This might seem odd but for fun I collect trash. My kayak often looks more like a garbage scow as I gather plastics and other trash while kayaking on the river and at the beach. I mostly just find trash but I've found some interesting stuff too, including something the bomb squad had to blow up on the spot. I'm still waiting to find either a briefcase full of half a million dollars of drug money no one claims or a chest of pirate's treasure sticking half out of a sandbar.
I love gardening... for wildlife, for food, for beauty, organically, and with native plants.
I enjoy a variety of things and am always eager to learn new ones. I'm open to suggestions.....
I admire Thoreau, Gandhi, Paul Watson, Ric O'Barry, johnpaulgeorge&ringo, Zonker P. Harris, Jeremy Hilary Boob Phd.......

Updating this section years later - originally I said that I was intelligent, quirky, messy and that I don't "go with the flow". That has not changed. What may have changed is that I have greater understanding of some of the reasons.
I would hope that everybody becomes wiser as they get older and gains greater self-awareness, though I think that it's also easy to become cynical and develop anxiety or fears (or develop other adaptations) that affect your day-to-day existence simply because the longer you are alive, the more likely that you have accumulated bad memories from what you have witnessed, and what you have experienced of the negative realities of our world.
As for me, I am wiser though I still have a long way to go. I'm still curious and mercurial which is not conducive to being organized, and I do pay the price for that. I think it helps me in other ways to keep myself from depression. I have very strong emotions and yet a really logical and analytical backbone which are often at battle.
I hate writing about myself, but as I just demonstrated, I can get carried away in spite of myself, so it's a good spot to stop and mention some of the more surface things, like...
My big focus right now is spending time outdoors where I live. It's rural, there's field, there's forest, there is always something to discover, from identifying plant life (which unfortunately includes battling some pretty aggressive invasive plants) and animal life, to weird insects and various other critters. Sitting amongst the tall grass knowing that I can't even be seen from the road is magical for some reason.
I have worked in technology (IT) for many years, yet I have to admit some of the magic is not there like it used to be. There are some ideas I had for projects that I am keen on if I can figure out a way to fit that in with the other things that dominate my time, without dropping the ball on one of them ...
Animal rescue/providing care/reducing suffering/promoting well-being. This is often painful, often sad, but it's what I value the most.

I'm very non-materialistic. I enjoy running, biking, studying and learning things. I use my bicycle for most of my transportation, including my frequent excursions to the Berkeley Bowl. I'm politically liberal. I grew up in Wisconsin but went to graduate school in Massachusetts, San Diego and in Los Angeles. I work as a computer programmer for UC Berkeley. Sometimes I also teach college programming classes. I'm very independent and find it easy to spend lots of time alone. But also enjoy doing things with people.

I became widowed and retired at about the same time. I really did not have a plan or thought about this circumstance I find myself in. I have avoided eating animals for going on 15 years now. When I considered meeting new people, I found that I am not interested in building new friendships or bonding with people that do not share my thoughts and beliefs about plant-based eating. I am nearly 70, so why waste the effort. I have old friends who just think I'm weird, and have known me long enough to be accepting of my quirks, being vegan is just another one. When I thought about dating again, I decided they must be plant-based, vegan or vegetarian. My sweet wife was all of those at different times. I also wish to only date other widowed people, so it seems like I am asking for a lot. "Well, who doesn't harbour a Hallmark Christmas dream of a Winter Solstice lantern parade to end 2025 with!"

I guess .. My Type Of Personality .. is not very common and very recently I found out that It Is Called : .. "Sigma Personality Type", .. and -to my amazement-, .. it is -generally- known and understood, and It Is Considered -ststistically- As Being The Most Rare Type -of them all-. .. No wonder I did not -yet- meet anybody that would match my own personality (Or My .. Elusive .. "Soul-Mate / Soul-Bride"). .. It is also nicknamed : .. "Lone Wolf Type", .. which seems to be self explanatory and -apparently- sugestive that .. I Should Be Howling Much More -At Night- (specially at "Full Moon" times).

I grew up in Ohio and lived in Utah and California before moving to New York and recently moved back to Ohio. I have been vegan since September 2008 (vegetarian about a year and a half before switching). I have worked helping animals for the past 13+ years. I started as an adoption counselor at a humane society in Ohio, than a dog caregiver at a large sanctuary in Utah, and for over 8 years I was a caregiver for farm animals at a sanctuary. I have a degree in Criminal Justice, but after a few years realized that helping animals was the direction I wanted to go with my career and life, and I haven't had any regrets. I have one four legged child who runs my life (no two legged ones for me). When I am not taking care of the animals at work or my girl at home, I enjoy spending time outside going for walks, hikes and biking. When I just feel like staying around the house I enjoy reading and watching movies.

I'm believer of truth and justice. usually quiet, reserved, self centered, introvert, detached, recluse, asexual, asocial, weird/awkward, minimalist, peace loving, freedom loving, religious, protective and possessive about the things I love..and obviously animal lover. with humans I've trust issues.
though I dislike ppls company, I hate 'single' status, seeing others posting couple pics, pda in social media makes me jealous. i m lookin4 someone who is also like me, animal lover, kind, caring, calm, quiet, reserved, asexual, indorsy, not demanding or needy for entertainment, vegan/vegtarian, truthful, trustworthy, 100% loyal, doesnt cheat or lie, respectful, doesnt try2 force anything, accepts me as I am, truly loves me, protects me and his presence makes my life peaceful. he can expect same from me.

I strongly believe that we are all the same race, the human race. We are all God's children, and we should show respect for all of God's creations, the animals, plants and humans. I welcome being contacted by any adult woman, from any ethnicity, age and religion.
I am charming, old fashioned, chivalrous, loyal, frank, kind, affectionate, intellectually curious, sensitive, thoughtful and open minded.
Solving things makes me happy as I am technical and analytical. Being lost in a good book is comforting. Games are great, and I am a whiz at trivia.
Good conversation is underrated. If you think you can make me laugh, please contact me.
UPDATE: I AM NOW FULLY VACCINATED, THANK YOU TO MODERNA AND ALL FRONT LINE WORKERS.
My photos and profile are real, which I am very willing to prove in a video call via Skype. I strongly prefer to SEE and HEAR who I am communicating with.
***The Federal Trade Commission, A.A.R.P. and the F.B.I. warn that romance scammers use Google Hangouts, Whats App and Facebook Messenger, you should not communicate with anyone at these apps to protect yourself.

I'm a fluid person, so what I write about myself today may not be accurate tomorrow. I make an effort to continually learn new things. I'm happiest when close to nature and good friends.
I'm in the middle of a long transition. I used to be a mechanical engineer but have since left that world. I want to spend the second half of my life away from the rat race and towards a solution. I'd like to find a partner who's moving in a similar direction (or, already there)...

im on this unique quest to find love, an equal & true partner who will share my passion and dream
Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the goblin city.
did you ever want to say to hell with the grind and move over a covered bridge, near a lonely mountain in the shire (monadnoc region nh) on about 40 acres of offgrid veganic farm... with expansive greenhouses (planned), with 2 brooks , swimming hole, and some rock walls.
just down from a state park with a river and rail trail as neighbors. it's a place id like to share, with some one who dreamed of it also. so welcome to my story
Fyi if you're not an ethical vegan or lgbt+ friendly and want a dark green life we wont work out.

Strive to live a simple, nonmaterialistic, meaningful, and purposeful life. I'm a Luddite at heart, reminiscing about the halcyon days when we weren't overdependent on technology. I embrace sechel, not artificial intelligence, and modesty, not social media. 不患莫己知,求为可知也。"Don't fret about not being well-known; instead, strive to be worthy of being known" (Analects, book 4, verse 14). Jewish ideals inform and guide in all aspects of life. These include honesty; respect for the sanctity of all life, which includes being veg*n; not hurting people's feelings or saying negative things about them; shunning gratuitous hatred of those who think differently; giving others the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to do the right thing; not doing what is unethical, even if permitted; concern for the vulnerable and the disabled; having a higher purpose in life, including work; and learning for the sake of learning, including from everyone! But people with similar values come from many paths in life, the ultimate expression of which is being a mensch or, as Confucius termed it, a jūnzǐ (君子), someone who sets an example through his or her actions, which speak louder than words.
Enjoy hiking, being in nature, lizard-watching, learning, artistic creativity, and dry humor (but not sarcasm). Introverted and sometimes lost in thought, but hopefully thoughtful in more ways than one! Look for ways to help others while avoiding self-serving feelings like validation and pride. Empathetic. Adventurous but also risk-averse.
I live in the desert, which teaches humility, not only because we are dwarfed by the majestic mountains and the expansive valleys but also because we are humbled by the miraculous, mind-blowing adaptations that allow life in all its forms to not merely survive but thrive in the most challenging of environments. Nature can be our teacher and help us improve our character traits.
I stopped practicing clinical medicine almost 30 years ago when it was no longer possible to do so ethically. My magnum opus has been the definitive treatise on Jewish medicine, a moral, comprehensive, integrated philosophy and system of practice that is free of self-interest and that patients need not fear to enter.
And now, for the final course, mon petit chou, my sweet, here is your fortune cookie: 好话不在多,几句成知己。"Good-hearted words need not be many; just a few can make a close friend."
Headshot is from July, 2023.

Some of my all-time favorite books are:
Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)
The Fabric of the Cosmos (Brian Greene)
The Bell Jar (Sylvia Plath)
Consciousness Explained (Daniel Dennett)
The Selfish Gene (Richard Dawkins)
Dominion: The Making of the Western Mind (Tom Holland)
