First, let me just tell everyone, I don't live within 50 miles of ANYWHERE, but I'm free to travel, as often as necessary to get to know each other because I'm serious about this quest. I'll also relocate if that's what's needed, but I'll probably always keep my ocean view home, too.

I'm a highly educated, widely traveled adventuress, but lately I find myself talking out loud when watching the NBA or working in my garden alone. I find great joy in life’s simple pleasures, shared. Sharing a meal prepared with a friend offers twice the pleasure of merely eating it together, for instance. [And I personally find cooking and eating together can be a form of foreplay.]

My pictures are current, and, while I don't look forty, I've been blessed with good genes. I am kind, funny, generous-and- honest-to a fault, pretty, very slender, openly affectionate, passionate. I’m also an avid reader - since learning - and movie lover. I live in a small house on an acre with a gorgeous ocean view, cats, innumerable flowers and a good sized garden.

Even though I'm a C.A.S.A. volunteer with some of my time, on my own, I can be easily bored: I want someone to do things with, someone to share each hour's small finds or say, "Let's go see what the beach has turned up today!" I'd love to find a sweet, big man with similar attributes along with a large helping of common sense and handiness, a man who enjoys doing many different things together with his woman, including an extra helping of intimacy; it's something that's quite important in my life, one I'm not willing to give up without a fight and it's a must-have compatibility factor.
