I'm attracted to intelligent, kind, and creative individualists who have a good sense of humor. I've been in a wonderful partnership for almost 11 years, and I'm not looking to replace him, but would be happy to correspond with anyone who sends me a message that actually references information in my profile.

I have a contemplative personality and enjoy glorying in the beauty of an image, and spinning through the worlds of art, ideas and written language. Most of my free time I spend reading or watching movies. I would love to find someone to curl up with on the couch. Sometimes I write, make art, and play piano.

I love my job helping children improve their reading skills. I work at a great school with amazing colleagues and endearing students.
