I am a motivated person who likes to make things happen. I am interested in giving to others, philosophy, politics, the world. My children (older teens) are central in my life. I like to have fun, enjoy the company of friends and travel. I like the finer things in life and am willing to work to have them. I enjoy long conversations, the theater, dancing, music -- especially jazz -- movies, taking long walks and hanging out with friends.

I am interested in meeting a gentleman who is accomplished, articulate, considerate, loving and fun. I would like to find someone who also appreciates family and might have one of his own from a prior marriage.

Casual dinner at a neighborhood restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. Depending on how the conversation flows, consider going for a walk along the beach, bu the Bahai temple in Wilmette Harbor. End up at a local pastry shop for coffee and dessert.
