Intelligence is the ultimate aphrodisiac they say, so I need add nothing more to that here. I am looking for a lover and a partner to share a life together.

I am smart, funny, and imaginative

I was a documentary cameraman for 16 years, working for PBS, BBC, and as well as independent producers. Later, I went back to school, and got a graduate degree in computer science. I am currently retired.

I take long walks, watch DVDs, listen to music, read novels and scientific articles, study and play chess. I'm also something of a news junkie and try to stay current on what's happening in politics, science, art, and the world in general.

Listening, talking, and kissing. :-)

My sense of humor, my eyes, my intelligence

Books: The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson, Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson, War and Peace as well as Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. Music: Mozart, Beethoven, Stravinsky, Copland, The Who, Hot Tuna, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, and especially, Ella Fitzgerald. Food: Japanese.

A loving companion, peace of mind, humor, chess, literature, music.

Chess, the universe, the human mind, the human heart.

I think all the great religions of the world teach the same thing:
In the final analysis, all we really have are each other.
We should try to live as the brothers and sisters we are.
A family.

Playing at a chess club in Pasadena.

When I have some spare time, with nothing pressing to get done, I sometimes will just take a nap...sort of like a cat. :-)

you are a woman living in the moment and don't take things too seriously. There is no particular type of woman that I'm looking for...chemistry can be based on lots of different things...but chemistry is a must.

My ideal match would be a smart, independent woman with a good sense of humor...who likes slow expressive eye contact.
