Active, down to earth woman looking for a good, fun, smart and left-leaning man. I love to hike, garden, canoe, go to movies (mostly independent), go to concerts (especially jazz and symphony). I love nature, animals, the night sky, snow, good conversation, good silence, good music, good friends and family. I watch virtually no television ( I do like the Olympics).

Living it with as much joy, compassion, beauty, and lightness as I can.

appreciating beauty, nature and the small miracles.

Really not sure. Thinking about this.

I enjoyed the new movie, Exotic Marigold Hotel for the Elderly and Beautiful. Mostly I see movies at RealArtWays, Cinestudio and Cinema City. Sunday Jazz concerts at Hartford Public Library all last winter were exceptional. Did you see The Tempest at Hartford Stage? Excellent. Right now most of my reading is about gardening, or newspapers. Food: I just started eating meat again after years of not. My body seemed to want that protein. I am careful to eat healthy foods, organic as much as I can afford. Present favorites: artichokes, bluefish, excellent watermelon and mangoes. And ice cream. And chocolate...

Trees, loved ones, learning new things, animal companions, smiling, the possibility of a better world.

all kinds of things.

having a good meal with a friend or alone and enjoying the evening in one of a million ways.

is that private things should be shared when the time is right.

you are drawn to do so.
