I am looking for a down-to-earth woman who is intelligent, funny, self-aware, and sexy. I can offer you those same qualities.

I like films, books, and art. i like music but more to dance or drive to than to sit and listen to.

I love doing the hardest crosswords I can get my hands on.

I work out, dance and golf. I play guitar and piano. (I used to be in rock bands -- I sang and wrote songs).

I am seeking a long-term relationship. I am open to dating short-term as well, but long-term is my ultimate goal.

Idle random question: why doesn't my autocorrect recognize dirty words? Don't you think it ought to?

I am made of 100% non genetically modified ingredients, no additives or preservatives. My contents may have settled during shipping. Please store me in a cool, dry place. I may contain peanuts. Do not use me with a petroleum-based lubricant.

I'm a child and family therapist with my own full-time private practice. I work with kids and their families, and I really enjoy the kids and their parents both. I'm good at what I do and always looking to learn more.

Talking (great story-teller) and listening; insight; humor and having fun; dancing; singing; golfing (getting there); staying in shape (life-long goal); accepting people; making a party more fun; managing my money; staying healthy.

Do you know -- I couldn't care less. I don't understand this as a question that frequently shows up in personal ad templates. And isn't this situation-specific? For instance, if I'm drowning, the first thing people probably notice about me is that I'm yelling "Help, help!"

Some of my favorite movies include: classics (Bogart, Brando, Newman, Hitchcock, Film Noir); Ordinary People; Blue Valentine; There's Something About Mary; The Full Monty; The Blair Witch Project; The Virgin Suicides.

Fave Books/Authors: Vonnegut, high end mysteries (i.e., something realistic with good characters that teaches you about some aspect of life), psychology books, S.E. Hinton, biographies, books about actors, films, and film-making.

1. Vowels
2. Vestibular awareness
3. My imaginary friend "Pete"
4. My air-tight alibi for where I was on the night of the murder
5. Magnesium
6. Basic human kindness -- no, wait, sex, I meant sex!

(Oops -- I didn't take this question seriously)

Out with friends, working out, watching a movie, or in deep, delicious sleep.

You are between 45 and 55, you live within 100 miles of me, you are outgoing, and you want to see if we click.
