I have a bachelors degree in Marine Science and a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership. I presently teach high school science, but am enrolled in the Education Specialist Degree Program at St. Leo University, hoping to complete the proposed PhD Program. I would then like to retire from public school education and teach at the university level. I love to read, watch TV (e.g. House, MASH, CSI, etc.), listen to music (e.g. oldies, Irish, musicals, instrumental, etc.), go to concerts/shows, play board games, go to theme parks (especially ones with animals), be outdoors interacting with nature, motorcycling, walk in the rain, camp, boat, have a quiet evening with friends, spend time with my family, have meaningful conversations with friends, be pampered and pamper, walk on the beach, take vacations to New York (where I once lived) and New England, etc. I have dreams of going to Australia, Scotland (where my family castle still exists), Ireland, Alaska, Canada, etc. I have three grown sons, one of which is a Down Syndrome (and lives with me) who brings joy to everyone he meets. I attend church on a regular basis and have sung for years in the choir and contemporary worship band. I am looking for someone with similar interests who is "real", sincere, honest, trustworthy, intellectual, likes to laugh/talk, loves family, likes concerts and home-cooking (not only am I a good cook, I have a sister who graduated from Culinary Arts school and specializes in cheesecakes and pastries), likes to hold hands/cuddle, and is looking for true companionship, and a possible life-long commitment, etc.

I would like to meet for coffee or a light meal someplace where we can talk and see if we have enough in common to meet again, but I'm open for suggestions/ideas.
