This heartthrob seeker with a black belt in cuddling and an open heart, hopes to connect with an affectionate, energetic, kind, bright man of integrity for a meaningful, playful relationship.
I'm blessed with a kind, affectionate constitution, an ardent intellectual curiosity, a love of new experiences and a robust sense of humor and playfulness.

As a psychotherapist and social activist, I am committed to social justice causes. I am a rabid NPR listener and a member of a peace and justice organization.

...enjoying the world around me. As a "culture vulture" by nature, I enjoy all forms of cultural activities: music - folk/blues/jazz, dance, theater, comedy, going to lectures, museums, movies, sharing good restaurant fare with friends, as well as looking for treasures at garage sales/junk stores. Love spontaneous outings, exploring new venues and unknown hideaways, taking walks and low-key hiking. Have been a swing and zydeco dancer in the recent past. Recently, I've learned how to make jewelry.

hopefully - my smile.

my son and family; the ability to laugh (esp. at myself); my beloved friends, love, another day.

how precious the bonds are to each other; the fleeting nature of time; when I'm finally going to do the dishes...

either enjoying the company of friends, going to a music performance, or having a quiet night at home making jewelry, watching a favorite tv show or reading...

You share similar values and interests; are someone who finds relationship life stimulating and enriching. MUST HAVES: an open heart, be a good communicator, have a spirited nature and a willingness to build a deep, meaningful relationship. DEAL BREAKERS: arrogance (!), smokers, cell phone addicts, intimacy avoiders. Extra points for niteowls, burly physiques and those with a riotous sense of humor... Taking applications now...
