I'm young at heart, easy-going, down to earth, have an excellent sense of humor and love to laugh and make other people laugh (known for telling funny stories, actually. All of them true! - life keeps me well supplied). I'm polite, considerate and helpful, and I value those qualities in other people. I love music and am an amateur musician. I play viola, accordion, and fiddle and cello. I'm creative, love a good challenge, and like to concoct things, from Halloween costumes for my kids to retirement ballads. I'm happiest when I'm working on some sort of creative endeavor. Friends have said that I'm someone who can make something out of nothing. I'm a secular humanist Jew (atheist)- there doesn't appear to be an option to say that in the religion category - and therefore would probably not be a match with someone for whom religion played a large part in his life. I'm not interested in someone who would describe himself as a "sports fanatic", though I'm happy to attend sports events now and then. I'm also a vegetarian, so if you're a hunter then I'm pretty sure we won't get along
