I'm a journalist, well-traveled, well-read, creative, artistic and intellectually curious, and I enjoy others who share these traits; liberal with global perspective and a wicked sense of mischief and humor; I have older children still at home; sometimes I feel lonely but I'm very good at ignoring or denying it; not looking to remarry or find a new dad for my kids, but wouldn't mind a friend who was kind, gentle, loving and handy with a screwdriver...

I don't demand perfection--and I have no tolerance for bigotry, close-mindedness or right wing politics.

I'm in transition--have been devoting most of my energy to my work and completely neglecting my social life. I think I'm secretly hoping someone will come along and cure me of that.
