I am an action kind of person living as a software co. owner in California. I like music, museums, mountains, oatmeal, mustard, boysenberries, sailing, cameras, gadgets, travel, geocaching!!! I am a perpetual learner, a seeker of knowledge and enlightenment... I'm a poet, a hopeless romantic, an idealist and the "long-haired free thinker" your parents were worried about. I would like to date similar. My interests are wide and varied. I am accustomed to travel and lots of physical activity ranging from tennis to sailing. I seek adventure - orienteering, geocaching, rallyeing - I would like a partner - it is the old balance thing. I am spiritual - I have a connection to life and the outdoors. I enjoy people too. Having stated that, I am not a woo-woo kinda person. Art is important - writing - therapeutic AND I like words - their flow in lively conversation. Music, movies and books are a must. - Chronicle, New Yorker whatever floats by I pluck and peruse. Pop culture intrigues me - I am a geekette and have a very compelling, fond attraction to my counter part of the male gender.

Experimenting with breathing. Currently, I am on my 9th or 10th life - too many to keep track! It is important to me to stimulate my mind, body and soul with regular thought, exercise and growth.

I am an amazing diplomat and all around "get your self filthy with . . ." (D. Matthews) life in interesting, entertaining experiences. I attribute this to being raised by Texans with a substantial dose of California Cool.

My energy and my accessibility - I have a high power edge with a "girl-next-door" familiarity (it is the smiley face ;-) .

Music: All types of guitar, popular, rnb, jazz, classical, trance, world - favorite album - Dark Side of the Moon.
Ahhh Movies! - Cool Hand Luke, Princess Bride, Crimes of the Heart, Star Trek, Big Trouble, historical anything.
Live entertainment - plays - Who's Afraid of V. Wolfe, Shakespeare, Tony Award winners; musicals - Producers, Wicked, Full Monte
Food - California Cuisine, Asian, Mexican, Italian, Indian, Thai, Moroccan - most anything. Around the house - I prefer simple - healthy.

Appreciating - my life. I believe before we can truly share our life with others we need to be conscious of the foundation of our own and embrace it. AND Mustard.

Ripping up the dance floor, taking an evening hike, chilling with a book or holding hands in a movie.

I am an affectionate person. - That's all for this public forum ;-)

You like to hummm and wanna explore this amazing world with an amazing person; you are not averse to a little adventure AND if you are interested in checking out the possibility of companionship!
