My self-summary
I'm not sure we should be writing our own profiles. anyway. no bias here, uh-uh, nope, I'm good, thanks.

As for this rating system....if you aren't local, well it starts there, it may end there as well.

I probably should be calling it quits on on-line dating, I'm just not entirely ready to give up hope of a new love. It's still free to play and it only takes one right guy, so giving up hope, seems more foolish than staying in the game.
I'm not depressed, quite the contrary, I'm just getting on with life.
Details upon communication.
My focus has changed to loving and living life, It is so much easier, and fulfilling, than living to find love.
A travel Partner, would still be great!
and, no, I'm not going to initiate anything here.
If you're interested, write, if I am, I'll write back.
But, location, really does matter.

I'm really only interested in very, very local men. This side of the river or the other. I trend toward public transportation (yes, I do own a car), the arts, urban open spaces, and I do love Vermont. parks, gardens, the streets around town, the local Peet's. a museum, any time. music, most of the time, black, all the time, and still, colorful. I'm always happy in a museum, or garden.

It only occurred to me recently, that my lifestyle choices are more than a bit off the beaten path.
vegetarian, not vegan anymore, but have been. organic, when possible. limited sugar. NO TOBACCO.
I just read that. it must sound like a crazy woman to most, it won't to the right man.
There is always an element of choice. I've been known to go in search of dates, the other kind (unless I share them with you), stuffed with gorgonzola and wrapped with bacon and a martini. I know where to buy a most delectable duck, and very occasionally do. it's not about sacrifice at all.
Okay, like minded man, might be easier, on both of us. I'm not looking to change anyone. It's just too much work, life is too short.

I'm an Artist in transition. Ask me what that means in 5 years. I may have an answer. Today, I'm enjoying life, one day at a time. I do have dreams and goals. Really, I do.
My apt. is my current installation, That was a most interesting realization. Unraveling a whole tangle of life imposed mind games.
It's good, I'm working on them. The things I'm learning, stun myself, some days. I'm currently going through old papers that relate to a bill passed as part of the New Deal, it's incredibly interesting and a ton more work than I ever envisioned giving a gift would be.
Honestly, travel is much higher on my 'to-do' list.
Joy, is an everyday experience, and always a gift.

I'm patient (hard to believe, huh?), but know what I want in a man, and some of what I need from one. Loving, intelligent, fun(ny), and kind are but words. I'd like the embodiment of them, please. I try to share those things on a daily basis with most everyone, do you?

it would be nice to meet someone nice, and who remembers the true value of tulips in February. A little genuine, generic, gratitude in your spirit would be amazing. My set point is always optimistic, always grateful and sometimes a wee bit sad, but I bounce back, to the same happy place time and time again, I'm always adding to that happy place. It's quite full and eclectic, but not so full, there isn't room for you.

I want to be treated like a lady, but I used be handy on a job site, swinging a hammer, or planting a bed, I'm not afraid to get dirty.
I will do my best not to swear like a truck driver, as my mother used to tell me, I do. My friends don't think I'm inappropriate. That concludes the family and friends contribution to my profile.

and thus, concludes todays version of my 'summary'.
*notes available
Copy write: june 2012.
What I’m doing with my life
always building, always learning, always dreaming, and most always enjoying it.
I spent October in Spain & Italy, I'm thinking about a return trip next fall, but there are so many places to see.

I make it a point to do nice things for people, because I can. Little things. The paying attention things. I'm not sure who benefits more.
I'm not going to change the world (as much as I'd like), but I may change the day for someone who will.
I’m really good at
lots of things, and I have many more to explore.
I can also provide recreations of the moments I realized, "Ooops! this might not be my thing," and a few laughs.
The first things people usually notice about me
either you can't miss me, or you can't see me.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
most any vegetarian fare, well prepared by anyone who enjoys preparing it. This can be any, a solo, team, or even a group activity.
Books? Where do I begin? Mostly biographies about a variety of artists, architects, designers and musicians. I love to follow up with an exhibit or performance. If we get lucky, we can figure out how to get food into the theme, why not?
A fondness for fashion, not a clothes horse though. will send photos of closets upon request ;). It's a fun way to learn social history. My personal wardrobe is, urban, with an gentle twist of fate (the fabulous finds of Vintage shopping or collecting wonderful finds for years.
Music? still chasing the last of the great blues performers. Otherwise music falls into two categories, good, and bad. Every genre has both. But, Lord, don't make me sit through The Ring again.
and I don't own a TV. I can watch all the junk I want on this nifty little contraption.
The six things I could never do without
having lost a husband and a family, I'm pretty sure there isn't much I could never live without, but these come to mind.

love
hope
art, (includes music, architecture, fashion, and good writing)
dreams
Kindness & compassion
(they go so well together, I couldn't split them up)
room to breathe, (freedom, choices....)

While my memories, have made the trip so far, worthwhile. I'd love to make some new wonderful ones, with a new and wonderful man It's going to be a long, tedious ride, if I don't. I don't do tedious, if it can be avoided. The future is where it's all going to happen, today, is where it is happening. enjoy the present.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
I'd really love to live in a museum.
which one?
I'm always thinking, aren't you?
yes, I think about healthcare everyday too,
and these wars and the fiscal mess. Who has the bomb this week? Wishing the people of the Mid-east would realize they have more in common than not, and figure out how to celebrate it.
I still enjoy thinking about living in a museum, where I will look at beautiful art, read fashion magazines and know nothing of the real world. Much more insulated from the day to day, I can't do anything about, is the dream.
Trust me, it just doesn't last.
Reality, always wins.
After this morning, editing my profile down to something that works.
On a typical Friday night I am
Friday nights are less predictable, I could be out with friends or at a film, sometimes hanging in, as easily as out.
Now, Saturday nights. My now favorite time to do laundry. I'd love to change that.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
we'll see, when I finish filling this out....
I’m looking for
  • Guys who like girls
  • Ages 50–70
  • Near me
  • Who are single
  • For new friends, long-term dating, activity partners
You should message me if
you want to spend some time doing things we both enjoy, or are wanting to learn about, and getting to know each other.
