In their own words

A new specimen in this pond, swims well

I am a busy professional sharing my workday as a clinician scientist and C-suite administrator for the largest unified healthcare system in the USA, based in Chicago. I am a divorced father of a young woman, a budding ear, nose, and throat- how do you say that in Greek?- surgeon. I am in excellent health for my stated age but with noted eyesight correction. I enjoy my work and time away; however, I do not plan any retirement soon. Instead, I leverage my energy and skills toward value-based healthcare; ask me about it. I would be interested in meeting an educated, independent, energetic woman to share companionship and perhaps mutually enjoyable challenges.

Interests
Animals
While a zoophile my work obligations do not permit me to commit to the care of a pet at home. However, I would often host my daughter's senior feline, Tira, at my home and even my work desk.
Astronomy
I am knowledgeable in this ancient science and often enjoy an evening, alone or with friends, in low-light pollution expanses to observe meteorite showers or the aurora borealis.
Biology
Are we all in it?
Camping
I admit I keep an ultralight 2 person tent at the ready and can deploy it even at low light conditions, in off the beaten path state parks, preferably by riding my motorcycle there.
Cars
To calibrate my non-interest here, suff, I drive a 2007 Saab, with ~75kmiles and in almost pristive condition.
Children
I am the proud father of strong young woman, an ENT surgeon in the training.
Circus
Often work, hospital or academia, resembles a Circus with no elephants, just a sea of clowns.
Comedy
I await the Lyssistratian revolt to start
Cooking
I have inherited some of the skills and most of the culinary interests of my father who, inter alia, was a graduate of a prestigious ecole de hotelier in Geneva, Switzerland. Doy can cook!
Dating
Ahem, where exactly do you read this answer, please?
Electronics
Soldering gun on the ready
Food
While an omnivore, I practice judicious intermittent fasting
Gambling
Mostly an enterprise for the weak in statistics:-)
Gardening
Not a green thumb but will gladly accept fresh produce from your garden
Guns
I am an originalists: Muskets to all who canload them!
Medicine
We are at the cusp of wide spread use of value-based health care, where outcomes that matter are transparent and shareable along with the costs to achieve them.
Opera
Partial to italian opera and have the ticket stubs from the Lyric in Chicago to prove it.
Photography
I still own film loaded cameras and can develop and print B&W at the garage.
Running
Three miles, three times a week.
Soccer
As a youngest I followed the athenian club with the shamrock as its symbol
Technology
Leveraging the newly dveloped protocols that allow personal information sharing while fundamentally safeguarding privacy. Ask me about SOLID.
Television
Nope
Theater
As often as schedule allows; terribly missing the Herodion in the dusk productions
Traveling
Off the beaten path, visiting small midwestern towns, learning about the people and the culture and staying in an actual B&B
Walking
At the predawn along the Chicago's lake Michigan promenades and if weather lucky, seeing the sun rise.
Writing
Putting words to screen or to paper in the quiet of the very early morning- when not walking by the lake:-)

Insights
Describe the perfect evening.
This is a logical lacuna as stated. There is not such a thing as a perfect evening. An enjoyable evening may be taking a bath, getting off your work attire, fixing a simple meal and share it with good company.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Love is a unique and elevated state of affairs that cannot be elicited or cultivated over the brief time of a "first sight". Arhh, another tricky question to trap the innocent:-)

I happen to have one child, however, I understand that there is a remarkably uneven human reproduction rate across the globe that may afflict our, few, descentants.
How important is someone's physical appearance to you?
Was it Anna Arendt who said "good looks are but temporary, stupidity on the other hand is forever"?
If you could have one super power, what would it be and why?
Been able to make robust predictions about event in the future.
What is the most important lesson that you've learned?
To be aware of the multiple onion-like layers even in the most simple appearing issues.

Of overthinking certain issues.
