I am bright, responsive, and verbal.

My Self-Summary

I'm a recent empty-nester and the uneasy adoptive human of a guard-trained German shepherd. He needs an alpha and I'm a beta; more of a challenge than I anticipated... I love beauty, order, symmetry but right now you wouldn't know it if you peeked in my windows (though you should not peek in my windows because the dog will scare us both).

I'm a people person more than a hobbyist and a supporter more than a player. Hate crowds, HATE them. Of the billion reasons to mix it up with thousands of our fellows only David Larible at the circus would tempt me (I think). Politically am leftist, nearly socialist, though my time goes to very small scale things--my friends, job, garden. I'm civilized, mostly, not great at fixing my hair; sometimes it looks good anyway, sometimes it's just hopeless and I tie it up. I hate to be photographed but will see what I can do to get a picture here soon.

What I’m doing with my life

I'm teaching psychiatry to medical students. I really, REALLY like it.

I'm maintaining a front yard cottage garden in the face of some opposition (and some support) from neighbors--very very hard for me to tolerate the disapproval but not enough to make me give it up.

And I'm building a rose arbor, going to the symphony, a Broadway show series, and parent's weekends at my (two) daughter's colleges.

I’m really good at

Teaching and talking to patients, expressing pleasure and enthusiasm, supporting things and people I care about.

The first things people usually notice about me

Right now I'm on crutches, the first time for me. I get noticed WAY too much.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Anything well written--fiction, non-fiction, biography, history, essays, poetry. Can't stand violence in movies and don't own a TV (but do get sucked in by it at hotels).

Almost anything with a tune I can follow--especially with harmonies; operatic solos; big symphonic moments; girl torch singers; Tammy Wynette: have been told I'm unsophisticated (Nolo contendere). Have never "gotten" either jazz or rap and much of both irritates.

Red wine, single malt Scotch, cheese, olives, savory stews, grilled vegetables, spicy ethnic food.

The six things I could never do without

Coffee in the morning, books by the bed, music when I'm frantic, a garden to putter in, deciduous trees out the window, friends.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Whether what I said at work was accurate, could have been better, was a waste of time, was useful, represented the best approach, etc.

What is/isn't working in my garden, needs to be moved/divided: whether it would make a difference in my apple trees if I took all the cedars off my property; what might be a hardy native substitute for a laburnum walk and whether that would be silly or magnificent as a driveway. Whether I can stand to become a landlord again.

Whether a long term relationship is so unlikely that I should return to casual ones.

On a typical Friday night I am

At a show or concert if there is one; hanging out with the dog and a good book; crashing to bed early if it's been a hectic week.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I really like men, I like company, I like talk, I like sex. I miss being married.

You should message me if

You like what you've read, you value education (as in personally have some), you are interested in a potential long term thing.
