I've lived almost 24 years in NJ, proving I have a strong constitution. I grew up in Coney Island, so I could, theoretically speaking of course, kick your butt... I'm a Registered Nurse, with a BS degree, so I can save your life as well as know when to use the word complement vs compliment in a sentence.

I've an adventurous palate, an inquisitive mind, a sensuous side and a 14 year old Labrador Retriever with dementia. My adult kids are normal (whatever that is)and independent. While they truly are the light of my life...I have adapted quite well to laundry only once a week and food actually making it into the pantry! I lived a year on a kibbutz in Israel, married in Cyprus, and chatted up Richard Nixon one morning on my walk to work in NYC.

If you would like to engage in smart(and smart-ass) conversation, enjoy an offbeat sense of humor, desire culinary adventure, thrill to romance and intimacy, we might just hit it off. I'd love to travel, to try something new, look for some small adventure.

I live in a drama free zone; greeting each day and each endeavor with enthusiasm. Which is not to say I don't have my moments...but only those closest to me can tell. I am inquisitive and enjoy learning and exploring, be it a new neighborhood, a new cusine or a new hobby (Bridge, holy cow) Wish to find a man that "gets me," if so, ...he gets me. Get it? Rush Limbaugh fans need not apply!

Oh, one more thing... I have a confession...while I don't watch much TV...I totally am addicted to the Real Housewives of anywhere, but of course especially NJ. Don't hold that against me!

Dinner in a quiet unrushed location where the conversation flows and the time flies. If the waiters start sweeping up around us we know we hit it off. If the second date begins before the first one ended....
