Hi. I am looking for friends with similar interests esp. as the kids are growing up and away (son in grad school& daughter done with undergrad) and retired and gone to part time work. I am a spiritual person- I practice Christian and Buddhist meditation I like participating in sports rather than watching-running, biking, in-line skating.I like to cook and enjoy gardening.I am a long distance runner as much for enjoying the seasons and procession of wild flowers and wildlife in the metroparks as for the running. I like live music and cuddling on the couch to a movie as well as all the active stuff. No interest in 'playing the field'and hope to find an equal partner- PHYSICALLY ACTIVE, compassionate & spiritual and intellectually curious to share life's adventure with.

always worked in service of other and always loved my work.

anything by the Dalai Lama, The Divine Matrix, Power of Now, the Tao of Physics,Robt. Parker 'Spenser for Hire',Just now finally reading 'To Kill a Mockingbird'-incredibly well written"As I made my way home, I thought Jem and I would get grown
but there wasn't much left for us to learn, except possibly algebra." amen:)!! Casablanca, African Queen, Matrix1, NCIS, Sci Fi, Dr. Who, Grapes of Wrath, Turner Classic Movies, Pasta & Pizza, Little Italy, Great Lakes Brewery, West Side Market, live music, most music except rap.

any of the above sounds interesting;)
