51, male, once divorced after 20 years of marriage, have serious girlfirend, but separate residences
former banker (10 years), former licensed private investigator (10 years), and currently own small 1 person PR firm
2 children - daughter, 21 and son, 23
interests - beach, very serious tournament chess player (and online chess, too), I think about writing "that book" sometimes - if it happens it will be about NASA in time for 2009 (40th anniversary of moon landing). I live close to the space center and can watch the shuttle launches from my driveway (as can all of Central Forida).
I really love my girlfriend; she's a teacher. Goal: Stop being a slob so she might marry me some day.
Other Goals - build up savings, buy a condo on the beach, walk on said beach every single day, enjoy my children and help where I can, close a monster deal to consult to take a company public worth at least $500,000 (have been close) so that I can live in comfort without worries in retirement. Biggest single deal so far $40,000 commission. Get more out of my days.
