I like to cook and dance at the same time (and I like to cook). Going into the outdoors is wonderful- hiking, walking, skiing, etc. I love the sun on my face. I seem more bohemian and edgy than I actually am. Love to read, think, curl up and do the crossword, hike, walk everywhere reasonable, play with my son. He’s 5 (and a half, he’d remind me) and a big part of my life. I got very lucky in the kid department.

I love to read- genre depends on my mood. Some non-fiction, literature, memoirs, chick lit, thrillers, -eclectic mix.

I'm a foodie- but not a snob. I lived in Europe for several years, so got to try many regional cuisines. I'll try most things as long as they're not moving.... Enjoy most cuisines: Thai, French, Sushi, Ethiopian, Indian, Continental, Cuban...etc. My most favorite (or memorable) meals seem to be French. Of all favorite meals- La Lorraine in Luxembourg City.

Overall, I am looking for someone like me; a complex mixture of serious and playful, sensual and pragmatic, intelligent, optimistic, open to new experiences, and a bit of a foodie (but not a food snob). Family-oriented is important. Someone who likes to exchange ideas. Someone who prefers discussion over drama or emotional withdrawal.

A great relationship can occasionally take hard work to maintain. Few things of value come free in life - those that are worth having are worth working to earn, maintain, and enhance, with laughter, understanding, and love.
