hobbies: I've built websites for family, friends and my son's schools; I play tennis as often as I can; I learn; I do self-hypnosis; I watch Sponge Bob with my boy; I pet Crazy Cat (whether I want to or not); I read about movies on the Brown Line and attend as many films as I can at the Music Box, Facets, the Davis, Pipers Alley and the Gene Siskel Film Center, or I watch them on Blue Ray or cable; I rewrite my short stories and publish them in my school's literary magazine. Referring to the Do you drink answer above, I drink one shot of whiskey per day because Dr. Oz told me to. Women who drink wine daily for its resveratrol and anti-oxidant benefits are more than welcome.
goals: To find a partner to share physical, intellectual and emotional energy with; to get my boy through Northside College Prep so he can go to Harvard Medical to become a heart surgeon; to stay as fit, active and intellectually keen as I possibly can to the bitter end.
my uniqueness: I thrive on creativity (even in simple conversation with the right person). I also create interactive games, kiosks and websites for local museums. I am committed to my students. I look, feel and physically test 10 years younger than I am. I have been told that I am thoughtful.

I believe in simple first dates: coffee and cheesecake at a quiet cafe. I feel the emphasis should be on the conversation and chemistry undeterred by distracting servers and uber ambience. The second date would include satisfying the epicurean as well as cinematic senses. The third date would be physical: tennis, walking on the lakefront, dancing, or all of the above.
