Environmentalist

As a 50-year old Single White Male, you might think that I was a geek or a freak. I assure you, I am not. I just haven’t found the right woman to walk through life with.

I live outside of Boston, and here are some things I’m into:

Antiques, Acadia National Park, apple pie
Backrubs, biking, beaches, body surfing, baseball, beer, Bruce, backgammon
Camping, cooking, candlelight dinners, concerts, cabinetmaking, coffee, crossword puzzles, chocolate
Dogs, dancing, doing it outside
Environmental issues, exercise
Friends, fireplaces, fixing up houses, football, fish
Goals, the Grateful Dead, gardening, golf
Hiking, hugging, hot tubs, helping others
Ice Cream, the Internet, investing
Jaccuzis, jigsaw puzzles
Kissing, kids, kayaking
L O V E
Music, movies, Maine
New positions
Outdoor adventures
Photography, PBS, pizza, politics, pillow talks till 2:00AM, pool, Pictionary
Quaint New England inns
Reading, running, real estate, road trips
Skiing, Scotch, Seinfeld, steamers, sushi, a certain three letter word ending in x
Talking, travel, trying new things, tennis
U2, sexy underware
Vichyssoise
Wine, walking, writing, waking up and doing it again
XXO
Yosemite, Yellowstone
Zoos

An ongoing project for this goal-oriented 50-year old male is to complete what someone else coined a “Productivity Pyramid”. It’s essentially a blueprint for live, and the first order of business is to know what’s important to you – your Governing Values (Benjamin Franklin created his own, and he was one of the most successful and respected people ever to live).

With a firm belief that you only get one chance at this incredible experience called life on this amazing one-in-a-trillion sphere in the Universe called Earth, as long as I’m of sound mind, I want to be on this planet for as long as possible. My chosen vocation is providing Information, Products & Services that benefit the environment. And boy, do we have a lot of work to do.

When I started working on my Productivity Pyramid and began thinking about all that I wanted to do and accomplish . . . (it’s some list) I knew it was going to take a lot of days. So I began looking towards the future for a “line-in-the-sand” type goal to go after. I saw that the return of Halley’s Comet, on/or about July 28, 2061, was a stretch, but certainly within reach. If Halley’s Comet swings through our galaxy on time, I’ll be less than a month away from my 104th birthday. Which will hopefully give me enough time to do all that I want to do.

It will undoubtedly be a very different world by then. In fact, because of the environmental degradation that has and is expected to take place, man’s future existence may very well be in question. But as I turn out the light for the last time, in 2061, or hopefully later, I hope I can put my head down knowing that my words and actions transcended to enough other people so that our environment is healthy enough to allow man to continue to live a productive life here on planet Earth – the only home we will every know!
