| About Me
|
|
|
Slender, youthful, and fit, I am told that I have a winning smile and a sense of humor to match. My skills and interests range from teaching music and cooking professionally, to enjoying the beaches and trails of West Marin. I appreciate living in a culturally rich environment, with such easy access to nature. Though I have traveled widely, I enjoy creating beauty at home for myself and friends.
Previously, having been married happily, I value skillful communication, especially, the ability to listen empathetically. A sage who I admire once said, "Be happy, make happy". I aspire to live by that stance and to remember the sacred and fleeting nature of all life. I am seeking a companion, who shares similar values, interests, tastes, aesthetics, who is healthy, deeply intelligent, wise, generous of spirit, playful, and who appreciates the importance of levity and humor. Being handsome, definitely, a plus!
