I've been known to skip, play hopscotch and toss a furtive game of jacks. Some have caught me being 7, and there's a good chance you view silliness as a sweet thing.

As far as sensible goes, I have written about CEO's, elected officials, authors and academicians. Few of them would admit to playing jacks - or even knowing how.

All types of intelligence exist in the world. Yours may be spiritual, scientific, cultural, commercial, political or technical. But something will tell you that I am a curious woman. And that alone could compel some to reply.

Here's the old profile:

Former journalist and TV writer seeks a smart sweetheart. He longs for a responsive woman who'll walk by his side, make him laugh and help him sleep well at night. One who won't bankrupt him before breakfast and never lies about her age.

Am well traveled and enjoy college basketball, water polo and polo ponies. Am fond of old cars and old buildings. Ditto: world cinema, world cuisine and music that's out of this world. Let's explore big-city streets, forest paths, ocean tidepools... and our libidinous leanings.

p.s. please be 5'10" or taller. thank you.
