In His Own Words
About him
Freelance editor/translator/web programmer, working from home. Free thinker, always open to new ideas (at least sensible ones). I live in the countryside and don't miss what the city may offer. Play tennis, bridge, scrabble, guitar, and read a lot. Also write fiction when I have time.
The most recent photograph is the one on the Great Wall of China, from October 2013. I grew the beard to match my passport photo. I normally have a bit more hair than that, though not during the hot part of summer.
My friends would say I'm a grumpy old curmudgeon, but what do they know?
About his ideal match
An open-minded person with a thirst for new ideas. Glass half full; look forward, not back. Rational world view. Not too fussed about material things. No absolutes.
