New to Los Angeles, looking for friends, companions for movies, walks, conversation, museums, bicycle rides, etc. Neither opposed to romance nor desperate for it. Want to meet like minded people in my new city.

Getting to know Los Angeles, working a bit more than I like, riding my bike a lot, enjoying the sun, looking for community.

Conversation, listening, adventures, cycling, travel, photography.

I'm not sure; I've never asked. I've been told that I'm articulate and funny, and that I have intense eyes.

I love intelligent fiction (e.g. Barbara Kingsolver, Eliot Pattison, Laurie King, Anne Perry, Elizabeth George, Charles Dickens, Philip Pullman, Sherman Alexie, Tony Hillerman, C.J. Cherryh) and for literary candy, escapist authors like Janet Evanovich and Dorothy Gilman; I also enjoy non-fiction about the brain (e.g. Oliver Sacks). For social commentary I really appreciate Nawal El Saadawi and Arundhati Roy, sometimes Jonathan Kozol.
On the small screen I watch mostly BBC via Netflix (e.g. Doctor Who, Torchwood, MI-5) and quality American series (The Closer is a particular favorite). On the big screen I enjoy action adventures as well as quirky films (e.g. Strictly Ballroom, Blow Dry) and sometimes comedy or feel good movies. My musical tastes are very mood specific. . . Joni Mitchell, Michael Jackson, Joan Armatrading, The Beatles, Pink Floyd and other artists of my youth are still favorites. I enjoy classic rock in the car, instrumental piano or guitar in quiet moods, and harder rock to sing along to while working. For dancing I like salsa, big band swing, sultry west coast swing, and (true confessions) I've been known to two step to country.
I enjoy most cuisines and will eat almost anything meatless. I've been cooking and baking since I was a kid and enjoy experimenting with foods.

Beauty, music, a sense of adventure, nature, books, a sense of humor, my daughters' laughter

Beautiful things I've seen, problems I'm trying to solve, places I'd like to go, interesting ideas I've heard, books I'm reading, people I love, the fact that I think too much. I'm fascinated by the idea that some people can not-think; I want to know how to do that!

Pretty darn tired, but often looking for an opportunity to get my mind out of work.

I do math in my head more often than the average bear, especially to entertain myself while driving.

You're thoughtful, courageous in relationship, really interested in knowing and being known by someone else.
