I'm a homebody who enjoys the basics: A nice glass of wine, a good meal and lots of laughter.

Jon Stewart makes me laugh. So does Dave Chappelle. So do people who like a little verbal jousting, and especially those who appreciate a good pun. I love Scrabble.

I have a soft spot for 1930s and '40s movies -- even some of the bad ones.
I'm a news junkie, but enjoy a few TV shows: Mad Men, Rescue Me and, uncharacteristically, Sons of Anarchy.

I like baseball and am learning to like hockey. Not into NASCAR.

My taste in music is eclectic. I love Stevie Ray Vaughan one minute and a Celtic ballad the next. Motown is good anytime, anywhere. I also enjoy classical and opera. Toss on some Django Reinhardt, some Leonard Cohen, Etta James -- I love it all.

And I would love to find somebody who could finally teach me how to slow dance.

I work full time in a fairly demanding job and love what I do.

Just a relaxed, quiet place to talk and get acquainted.
