I cited my interests above but I didn't add that I lived overseas for half of my life in Latin America and S. E. Asia. My qualities are having the ability to easily talk to people from all types of life. Opera, pop, Latin American, classical music soothes or energizes my spirit. In New York, I loved going to Central Park with a picnic and wine. My relocation to So. California wasn't difficult and find much to enjoy here, if only urban sprawl didn't exist! Snow skiing and rollerblading are also favorite past times. My latest interest besides craft sewing is stringing bead necklaces.
I'm a liberal Democrat and hope to meet someone with the same leanings because I'm proactive.
The qualities I like in a man are intelligence, a sense of humor, friendliness, patience, appreciation for other cultures, and most of all affectionate and caring.

Go to Starbucks for coffee or to a street fair. If there's mutual interest and a connection, go to dinner.
