Location Chicago, Midwest, United States
Introduction I am a single gay white male; Left handed; My favorite color is purple. I had a dog who was more loyal and true than any man ever has been. I am a big fan of Abraham Lincoln. My second bedroom has been dubbed "The Lincoln Bedroom", as it contains most of my Lincoln books and memorabilia. These are important things to know about me. I am a CME Director. My standard line is, "I'm not a Doctor, I just play one at work". Strange flukes of fate brought me to this career path. I like working with the docs (most of them), and have had a good time (mostly) doing so. I am the gentile real life equivalent of George Kastanza. Weird shit happens to me--especially medically. I am a walking CPC case. The TV show "HOUSE" could do a whole season on me alone, and still not have covered it all. My sense of humor is dry, dark, and twisted.
Interests Music, reading, my dog, friends, theatre, cooking/baking, the outdoors, movies, I watch too much TV, single malt Highland Scotches-neat with a twist, travel-wish I could afford to do more.
Favorite Movies Ordinary People, Brokeback Mountain, Dr. Zhivago, A Star Is Born (the Streisand/Kristofferson version), South Park Movie
Favorite Music Very electic: Classic Rock, Jazz, Showtunes, Blues, Classical, Limited Opera, Folk, some country, some bluegrass, gay identified musicians Most anything except, rap, punk rock, heavy metal

If you could have a dinner party with any 3 people, living or dead, who would they be and why? Abraham Lincoln: he's been my hero since childhood. Keith Haring: I love his art. My best friend: Because I wouldn't want to have this experience without sharing it with her.
