Are you the one for me?

I Would Describe Myself As

I am all kinds things, mostly contradictory. I read a lot, write, cook for my friends - one of my favorite activities. I live in a beautiful, but rather remote part of N. California. Nearly every day my sweet dog and I walk along the lovely headlands and beaches near my house. But I also get restless and have traveled fairly extensively, England, France, Czech Republic, and Africa since my husband died 5 years ago. I swim 3-4 times a week at the local pool and try valiantly to loose those extra pounds. Missing in all of this is a companion to do these things with. I miss being close with someone to laugh with, flirt, share secret jokes, act a lot younger and sillier than I should. I carry music and poetry in my heart, all kinds, classical, Leonard Cohen, Fado, Rock, Gamelan, nonsense rhymes, the romantic poets, from Milton to Pound, you name it. As an uneducated art aficionado, I am never happier than playing tourist in a museum, although again I am almost completely catholic in my taste. I have two sons who left home a long time ago and live far away, two granddaughters and many close friends of all ages from 5 to 80. I am a retired non-profit do-gooder and volunteer on our local theatre board and writers conference organizing committee. I am on the liberal, left, activist side of the political spectrum, aghast at what is happening to this country. I was born in Israel, raised in England and French was my first language. I have lived in the US since 1958.

I've Always Wanted To Try
