Well, dear friends, I’ve come to a new place. I’ve decided that I am done being single. I am done living this monastic life. I have decided to open myself up to the possibility of love.
Now that I think I’ve had ample time to ponder life, love, and the human condition… now that I’ve spent enough time alone, enough time to come to this, my happy place… I am ready.
I am ready to find my Girl from Ipanema.
What would be most excellent would be if she were to simply come forward and identify herself. That would save us both soooo much time and trouble. The last time that I was dating, I searched long and hard for her. I picked every weed in the garden of love trying to find her. And, well, here we are.
So if you see her, tell her I’m looking for her. That would be awesome. Thanks.
(I’ve attached a dashing photo of me. It’s three years old, but, well, I don’t pose for photos much. And the ones that friends share of me on Facebook… I’m mostly intoxicated in those. So this is what you get.)

Two questions about that photo:
1) Are you wearing pants? Because if you aren’t, you are going to find a very different kind of Girl.
2) Does that typing position really work for you? I mean, really?
1) Ooooh! Good advice. Thanks. Yes, I am NOW wearing pants.
2) No. This one works MUCH better.
That’s great! But, um… didn’t you just get married in February??
Yes. It’s an interesting story, that.
Congratulations and Good Luck Scott. I was single for a long time and also reached the point where I was open having someone in my life. It may be cliche but Love often does come when least expected. I met my girl when I was just trying to make a new circle of friends and invited her for coffee and talk photography. I never thought she would be interested so I didn’t even think about hooking up. A short time later I was smitten…..
well, I’m on my way to Rio next week… should I take your picture along?? I’m also curious about the site’s name but I just got here, so, I’ll browse a little more now….
Julia,
If you could, sure. That would be great.
