Hello, my name is Barbara. I love being with my friends, but also relish the quiet of a pool of lamplight, a good book, and my cat Maggie to keep me warm. I seek out chamber music, star gazing, reading poetry out loud, biking along the river, being surprised by the unexpected in someone I am just getting to know, in old friends, in my students. I am warm, careful, passionate, curious, and in love with this marvelous city. I am seeking someone with whom I can find a relaxed intimacy. Intimacy can be many things, but laughter and affection are integral parts. What I hope for is someone who is curious, generous, and self-aware.
