I am a godless liberal on the brink of retirement, at least I would be if the economy hadn't tanked. I'm looking to meet some new people, preferably women to correspond or chat with.

I am a single (divorced) business exec. I have two sons who are grown and moved on with their own lives.  My interests are reading, mostly non-fiction,​​ fishing, cooking, wine, Cuban cigars and the good life.

Women only, please.  If you are from Africa and have a money making opportunity for me, I am not interested.  If you are a hooker like the one who contacted me the day I posted my profile, I am definitely not interested.

Reading about science, philosophy and other non-fiction.​  I am an avid fisherman and have traveled all over the US, Mexico and Canada in my scaly pursuit.

Rock from the 60's and 70's, Jazz, Classical and a few contemporary​ groups.

Apocalypse Now, A Clockwork Orange, Star Wars (all of them), Soylent Green, Rollerball, Young Frankenstein​, Monty Python (all of them), Weekend at Bernie's, The French Connection, Patton.

Mythbusters and the Food Channel.

I mostly watch the History, Discover and National Geographic channels.

"The motto “In God we trust” was added to the dollar bill in 1957. Since then its purchasing power, relative to the consumer price index, has declined by a staggering 87 percent."​

Niall Ferguson

"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak;​ a vindictive, bloodthirsty​ ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic​, homophobic, racist, infanticidal​, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential​, megalomaniac​al, sadomasochis​tic, capriciously​ malevolent bully."​

Richard Dawkins

"If you wish to bake an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe."​

Carl Sagan
