I teach high school math at a large CPS high school on the SW side. Most of the kids are totally insane which is why we relate to each other so well. I grew up in Lakeview back in the day when sleek trannies and Jewish grannies would jostle each other on the crowded sidewalks creating a simply delighful social milieu. Thanks to the depredations of AIDS and capitalism that world no longer exists. Oh well. I guess you could say I'm a bit iconoclastic; don't own a car, bike everywhere and am constantly challenging the often mistaken views of others and myself. I'm looking for a woman who's kind, understanding, beautiful yet rugged, and intellectually inclined. My goals include working with likeminded individuals to improve the dietary habits of urban youth, biking through the French countryside, taking long naps on cold winter afternoons and maintaining a sense of equanimity and composure at all times. I look good in either jeans or heels.

Currently, working to heal my herniated lumbar disc. Ouch!

(I know that's more than 6. What can I say? I'm a CPS teacher; I can't count.)

How the advent of hyper-connectivity will influence our ability to be human. The fate of us and the planet. How to be at home in the world. Can I make to 4:35? Why doesn't the world sing anymore?

Flat out after a week's work. If you teach you know what I mean. On the Fridays I have off I can often be found cycling with Critical Mass , taking in a movie or slurping down a plate of greasy noodles in Chinatown.

You actually want to meet, ya' know old school like. Not too into e-relationships.
