I enjoy sailing, great books and itineraries, daily morning 4 mile walks, concerts, eclectic conversations, dinner parties, movies and definitely sharing in YOUR enjoyments too...and also the decadence of doing nothing together.

I've learned a lot since being single the past two years. I know how important it is to be optimistic, giving and to initiate the fun in your life. I like a gentle man's way of treating me and I enjoy surprising him with thoughtfulness.

BACKGROUND: Kennedy Space Center instructor, ABC-TV Documentaries, grant writing, instructing, and now a comfortable retirement. RECENT PROJECTS: landscaping my country home, facilitate cancer support group, writing, travel to NYC, Europe (rail/backpack), road trips along East and West seaboards, church vestry, sailing (ASA101 and crew)--my new love.

And YOU: You are a tall, cerebral man involved in your own fun and want to share it with me and are ready for more adventures on a shoestring and to talk any topic for fun and even serious debate sometimes...You are kind and affectionate (lots) and funny. You know how to build and keep a rich relationship.

WE: are active and intimately affectionate, exchanging thoughtful gestures. We are honest, even blunt, and financially stable. We go from friendship to partnership, building upon one another, and specializing in great fun together...are you game???

P.S. Blunt Reality Check: I like facts in profiles. Politically I've been in both parties and now I am totally against the polarity that's killing this country and I am very pro tolerance. I am here to date, not pen pal email or set long tele call records. Hope you feel the same!

After a phone chat, Wine on the Water or Coffee in a Bookstore or a quiet meal to explore our possibilities....I prefer Dutch Treat for our first encounter!
