i write fables for grownups, character studies, and plays (blending chayefsky and beckett). i am not looking for the face that launched a thousand ships; rather i am looking for one who will launch a single ship, a single heart a thousand times. i am not just looking for a woman who i can live with; i am looking for a woman who i cannot live without. failing that, and after several bizarre first dates, i would welcome a good meal with a complex wine and an uncomplex companion.
