I love my family and friends...enjoy entertaining, and spending time in the company of others enjoying good food, drinks and conversation. I have a lively family, not really big...but fun! I enjoy travel, quick get-aways or longer trips...and haven't had the chance to get away as much as I'd like.
I love good conversation, especially about people and what makes them tick, though I'm not an "analyzer"...or couch-psychologist by any means...I just find people facinating...I have spent 15 years really focusing on the being of human beings and have made a difference for many people as a coach and mentor...
One thing I haven't focused on up till now is finding a partner to share my life with, and now I'm ready to expand that part of my life...my son is married and successful, and I am focused on my own enrichment...I am proud of all that I have accomplished and want to develop a long term relationship and share the next part of my life with someone that is as equally committed to me as I am to him...Music? All kinds...I have very eclectic tastes in the arts, and my music is an expression of that! I love jazz, show tunes....and I took my daughter-in-law to see Madonna last October...I appreciate quality in my music, like I appreciate quality in every aspect of my life...

First date? Coffee, tea? ..let's see if the chemistry is there, then we can take it from there...if things are going well, maybe a walk around the mall, or downtown, in a park...talking and getting to know one another better. What's important to you? What matters? What are you inspired by? Who are you inspired by?

Second date? Dinner, maybe the theater - doesn't have to be Broadway in Chicago...lots of good theater around...cocktails and more conversation to close the evening...

Third date? Well that all depends on how 1 and 2 went, but if we have gotten to this point....
