I like board games and have a weekly gathering to play. When it is warm out I like to build benches, bookcases and coffee tables in my (unheated) garage. And when it is cold out I like to bake cookies or lemon tarts. Best done when there will soon be people share them with. Curling up with a good book and watching TV at the same time happens a lot as well.

I want to raise a family and share the world with someone. I enjoy taveling; seeing places I have studied is always a thrill. Every handful of years I try to go someplace far away; I'm hoping Egypt is next.

For a first date? Something simple, somewhere where we would be able to talk for a couple hours. A movie would be fine if it ended early enough that going for coffee or snacks afterward wasn't going to be silly.
