As much as I like to write, writing about myself makes me squirm a little: so I asked ChatGPT to write my bio.

This is what I got back: "An upscale vision of elegance, athletic and poised, embracing the city’s pulse with every step. New York is my stage, and every encounter is an orchestra of sophistication. I’m your high-class companion, striding the sonorous streets with a passion for connection and a connection for passion. Whether sauntering with feline grace across the Triborough Bridge, indulging in five star knish in Times Square, or savoring the eclectic taste of museums, I bring a mouthful of sophistication to every encounter. I thrive on creating memorable moments that go beyond the cutlery. Let’s embark on a flight of shared experiences and passion!"

My GOODNESS. I guess I have to write this myself.

I was raised near chilly beaches in Northern California, and I think that explains why I'm drawn to the sensuality of nature and at home in the grey areas: skies, the chop of ocean or the mystery and depth of the human heart. It also explains why I always, always bring a sweater.

What warms me most is the company of friends who crave freedom, connection and pleasure. This little world is a great place to meet them. Perhaps you, dear reader, are one.

People are magic together, I truly believe that. We make each other better. We illuminate in each other hidden and beautiful facets of our deepest selves.

ChatGPT was maybe right about the sophistication: I am a writer, I use the correct forks and keep up with literature, My passport is well stamped and I’ve lifted a glass all over the world: but I'm also a goofball with a filthy dark sense of humor, and I’d love to share the joke with you.

Time with a new friend is my favorite luxury. This world is a playground for people to share themselves with each other, and I invite you to join me in embracing all that it has to offer.
