I practice yoga or go to the gym frequently. (I dropped 40 lbs in the last two years.) On weekends it's the movies, concerts, hanging out with friends, wine-tasting, museums and whatever else I can fit into 48 hours. When I have a lot of time, I travel to Hawaii to be with friends. I also plan to travel to the East Coast to visit friends who have located there.

I am easy to get along with, can carry on a conversation, and either my friends are just being nice or I have a pretty decent sense of humor. I spend a lot of time doing mathematics, so I can be a little spacey sometimes. I am passionate about work, but it does not rule my life. I work at a high school - I don't live in one. I avoid drama, petty and childish behavior for the same reason. When you have to deal with that in teenagers all day you want to avoid it everywhere else.

Please don't feel you have to match my interests exactly. Half the fun of dating is learning about new things. As a friend once told me, it just takes 80% and a spark.

I have made a lot of friends over the years, but they have scattered all over the globe. So, if you are interested in relocating just get to know me and in a few months you will be off to distant lands! Seriously, I enjoy my life, and would like to share it with someone special.

Among my favorite things right now are math, yoga, and caffeine. Since it's hard to carry on a conversation doing the first two, we should probably start with coffee and conversation. Dating should be a fun experience even if we don't hit it off. So, the checklist and interview questions will stay at work.

Since rushing into relationships has been a consistent disaster, I am more inclined to take things slower. Let's just see.
