my smile and my voice

On ne sait jamais (you never know!)

AND

Everybody dies but not everybody lives...

That depends on many factors--whats going on culturally in the city (opera, ballet, music), if I'm out of town, or if I'm trying to catch up on reading my VERY long list of books and watching a flick in my long queue, if there's dinner party going on...

I've been told I have a great chest and legs (go figure)

If you're serious about meeting someone to hang with but also love and want to laugh...

you have some edge. That would be a positive as long as its not too rough:)

You'll never be bored and you probably will have a LOT OF FUN (assuming we get involved!)

Also, because I collect and DRINK wine--someone who rarely or doesn't drink at all would NOT be a good match.
