Hello there! I just moved to Orange County and started a new job here--and have found something that is a good challenge with some great opportunities. I had been living in Palm Desert for a bit and am THRILLED to be leaving the heat!! I am originally from New Hampshire, but have lived all over (Florida, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island)--this is the third time in CA.

Love the ocean (not just the beach) and have been fortunate enough to have worked on the sea for quite a few years. Would love to travel a bit for myself (I have done quite a bit for work; all over the US, parts of Canada, Caribbean, Europe a couple of times). I want to see Budapest, Istanbul, Prague, Rome, Dublin...to name a few. I enjoy going to museums when I can... love the Impressionist and Dutch seascapes.

I would love to find someone that makes "us" better...looking for someone who wants to have good conversations about...well everything! Go on a hike, go out to eat, maybe a good bike ride. I would really like to try snowboarding...don't know why, just looks fun. I would like to learn about photography...try to get an eye for a good picture. I'd like to find someone that loves music and literature...art, the outdoors...my dogs, Boomer and Rudy!!! If you can teach me how to get better at chess...right now I'm pretty sure Boomer could beat me...and I could spot him a half dozen moves..

If you want to chat/e-mail and see if there is a connection, that would be great!

"The sum of all human wisdom is contained in two words: wait and hope." My favorite quote and it has helped out a bit over the years...if you know where that is from I will buy the first coffee...tea...pint...glass of wine...ok, you get the idea!

Something where we can talk, interact...anything from a hike, coffee, drinks...walking the dog...
