Let's smile together.

I Would Describe Myself As

The man who fits me well plays well with others: has a valued network of friends yet is at ease one-on-one, including this one. He is engaged with and genuinely enjoys his life, and has laugh lines to prove it. Wine, not whine, with your cheese, please.

The woman you hope to meet shares the values you place on family, and on a relationship grounded in genuinely liking and appreciating each other. Yet she doesn't wish to have or to be a 24/7 shadow. She reaches out even when it's a little scary. She can be playful, candid, curious and discreet in the same sentence. She likes surprises, both giving and getting. She doesn't keep score.

Among your best assets are your relationships with your family and yourself. You are well read and perceptive: brilliant when necessary, zany when appropriate. You would consider adopting a stray critter. Roots anchor you, not inhibit you. You are adventurous, and physically and emotionally robust; you take care of yourself yet "I" isn't your favorite pronoun. You appreciate Ikea for its diversity and attitude. You smile as you speak.

My interests range from cultural and artistic to sporty, creative to culinary to putzing in the garden. Yours needn't be the same, 'tho dovetailing is good. But I'm not an activity or involvement junkie; quiet times together are precious, necessary.

If you enjoy (or are willing to try) museums and Marsalis, biking, hiking, the performing arts, Scrabble and planning our next getaway, we have a nice start. Black tie galas are fine. Ditto jeans, tho not at a black tie ball.

A dear friend taught me life is a mystery to be explored, not a problem to be solved. Ready to discover?
