Saving...

Age
- 39 and holding
Sex
- Yes
Location
- Latitude: 45° 31' North Longitude: 122° 39' West
Dating Status
- I use a Blackberry for my calendar.
Bands
- You dont mean St Martin in the Fields do you? or sousa huh?
Food & Drinks
- Vodka should be cold and bourbon smooth.
Likes
- Quiet, peace, compassion, understanding, kindness. Billy Collins poetry, Judy Holliday's voice and Ralph Fiennes face. fog takes my breathe away. and little cat feet.
Dislikes
- People who view life as immutable, professional victims, the self righteous, the uninformed yet complacent masses. hyprocrites, jackhammers, tornadoes, the smell of shit and emotional laziness.
Movies
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind, I heart Huckabees, Vintage Hitchcock, Kurasawa and go here: http://www.netflix.com/BeMyFriend/P649XFTk9W18cKJU5ckJ
TV Shows
- I have not watched commercial TV news since the Watergate hearings. i miss Howell Hefner.
Juicy Factor
- Bodhisattva wannabe
Books
- George Eliot and Dickens are the best novelists in the English Language. Henry James is the Master and Edith Wharton too. Cynthia Ozick , Philip Roth, Murakami, Kawabata, biographies and social history.
Magazines
- Threads, Blueprints, Real Simple and yes, even Martha Stewart's Living. She shouldn't have had to go to jail. Also known to read the Atlantic and Harpurs.
Clothing
- My own, funky colorful, maybe weird but not like anything anyone else wears. dansko clogs gives me happy feet. is owning 200 pairs of shoes considered excessive?
Bad Habits
- Many but they are all petty, like squeezing toothpaste tubes from the middle, picking my nose while alone in the car, forgetting to record a check written, or licking peanut butter from my fingers.
Pets
- Abigail Adams- the cat. Sometimes I think she is the owner and I am her pet.
Video Games
- I think these are part of a global conspiracy to poison the minds of humanity.
Hobbies
- Fiber anything, reading, writing, film, poetry, art, flowers, books, theatre, opera, dance, canoeing, snorkeling, swimming, sailing, gardening, cooking, baking, friends.
Work
- Retired mental health professional and active community activist. Fiber artist ( why is that hard to say?) I could perfect procrastination professionally but I lack the motivation.
School
- Way too many years: BA. MA and yikes the "terminal degree" not including classes in the esoteric such as botanical illustration, Hebrew, paper making, russian ( I was a total failure at this) , short story writing, lithography, weaving and Buddhism.
Expertise
- Human development, relationships, sexuality, behavior change, sewing, identifying wildflowers down to genus (at least) and tasting something delicious and replicating it at home. My thumbs are dark green.
Sports Teams
- Lewis and Martin, Tracy and Hepburn, Sonny and Cher
Actors & Actresses
- I really can't abide Ben Affleck, Adam Sandler, or Darryl Hannah. Meryl Streep and Al Pacino are American institutions. I also think Ray Chambers, Greta Lambert and Rodney Clark are amazing actors.
Organizations
- Does humanity count? plus museums, gardens, the nature conservancy, synagogue and book groups. Oh and i only voted Republican once...decades ago.
