About Me

My heart is on the trail between jagged, snow-capped peaks and rushing waters. Call me a determined optimist. I believe passionately in leaving a better world. I am spirited, smart, inquisitive, happily feminine, fit, passionate, and active. I’;Be joyful despite the facts." Among the identities I’ve worn and enjoyed are journalist, Congressional policy aide, and teacher. Being "mom" has been my most cherished role, and though that work is largely done, the pleasure of independent adult sons remains.For me, one kind of perfect day is a hike during the river roar of snowmelt just as tender lilies shoot up through the last glints of winter. I carry paper scraps and scribble notes for stories and poems. Then they go through the wash forgotten in my pockets but somehow, I remember key words. And pictures are indeed worth a thousand, so I *** clouds above tree line and between ridges. Share with me what brings awe to your life. I seek a co-conspirator for adventures, romance, comedy and laughter, delight, and trying on ideas. We all have tall wish lists. A few on mine: I want you to be smart, passionate, emotionally available, adventurous, kind, interested in personal growth, physically fit, and able to see the humor in life. Ideally, we are both lifelong learners. But not perfect ;-)I'm really looking for a best friend with whom I share playful, intellectual, physical and emotional chemistry. In my thinking, best friends do things together--apart, and sometimes separate things side by side. Though I can and do wear velvet gowns and enjoy a dressy night out--see photos, I'm most comfy in denim. I’m a passionate explorer and am hoping to meet someone with passions and experiences both similar and different than mine. There are many places and things I’ve yet to experience. For example, I'd enjoy learning to snowboard or ski. I am comforted standing next to glaciers that make me feel small. If you lose me on the trail, chances are I’ve found the perfect womb in an ancient tree to nest in.If you have a kayak or canoe, bonus points. If you can reteach me to flyfish or might learn with me, more bonus points. I adore being read to. Semi-sweet chocolate or a hand-picked bouquet will delight me. I love the city, too--plays, music, comedy, fine dining, etc. Yet if I had to choose between mountains and skyscrapers, I'd stop in the city on the way to or from the peaks. I can live in either the wilds or the city, and like to be reasonably close to both. Travel is a must here and there--that's part of the experience v. stuff.Being playful brings balance as I make my living with my head. Of course, all the usual apply. I cry at movies where the dog grows old and dies. You’ll find me enjoying all varieties of film, and I’m not above renting children’s movies that make me laugh. History fascinates me. I can root for the Seahawks win or lose. Good thing, huh?I’m very much a grown-up and still like stuffed animals that squeak. Though I'd love it if you lived next door already, I cannot be flexible on those four "chemistry" qualities, so I'm open to a wee bit of distance, as my work and life have some flexibility.--depends on cards in the next hand.I wish you the best. Let's chat about favorite people and journeys, walk and talk, and be ready for the possibility of magic. At the same time, I'm always open to new friendships--so "no pressure" on a first date is important.

    Woman. 51 years old. Zodiac sign: Taurus.

    Looking for: man. In age: 48-58

    I am a kind, intelligent, honest person with a good sense of humor. I smile often and have a positive attitude looking for a man seeking a relationship with a good woman (that would be me). I have an exciting rewarding career, which I absolutely love (how many people can actually say that?) and blessed with a wonderful family & great friends. Life is too short to not go after all of the gusto it has to offer. I am looking forward to meeting the right person and share with him a life full of excitement and happiness.I saw this on someone's profile and "borrowed it":Words from the late Andy Rooney discussing "Women Over 50"Praise from Andy“As I grow in age, I value women over 50 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:“A woman over 50 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, ‘'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think.“If a woman over 50 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting.“Women over 50 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if they think you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you – if they think they can get away with it.“Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.“Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 50.“Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 50 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.“Older women are forthright and honest.. They will tell you right off if you are a jerk, if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.“Yes, we praise women over 50 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 50, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.”***more thing - Jet Fans need not apply ;)

    Woman. 55 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.

    Looking for: man. In age: 52-62

    It has all been said before, and repeated. Oh, and we all want World Peace!!So basically it's like this: I am terrifically happy in my life, I do want someone to share my life with, a hand to hold, a back to scratch, a smile to share. I've always been a firm believer that reciprocity and understanding are the fundamental components of a good relationship, and that is what I am aiming for. The by-products are happiness and a lot of fun. I love to socialize, entertain, cook, laugh, and be spontaneous. I am a warm, caring individual who enjoys almost everything, always looking for fun and adventure, being by the ocean, taking in the sun and fresh air. I can always find a thought to make me or you smile. I'd like to meet a person who likes adventure, one that understands how to laugh, yet is serious enough to have an established profession. Music is an important part of my happiness, all kinds, I love live concerts, the theater, watching movies while snuggling. A guy who I can mutually share anything and everything with and not be judged, that knows trust, who is stimulating and intellectual, who we can learn from each other and grow with, because one never stops learning. And best of all, I want someone looking for a mad passionate love affair that leads to the best relationship of our lives! (OK, not really a big deal!!!)Please don't fudge your age, or the pictures (recent, come on!!), life is too short to play games, and no one wants to start out playing games!! I am not looking for just a one night stand, I am worth more than that, Reciprocity is fundamental. First encounter, the moment of truth, the anxiety of meeting, geez.

    Looking for: man. In age: 48-58

    I am a lady that likes to enjoy the world. It is beautiful and should not be taken for granted as well as the people who live in it. I enjoy a nice walk thru the woods and watching out for what lives there. A nice dip in a fresh stream is very inviteing. I am a country girl at heart,but can deal well with the city lights. Enjoy danceing and singing whether it b around a camp fre or at a nice lounge. Play pool and a little dart throwing. I listen to all music. I believe we should be able to sit somewhere,so that we can have a nice conversation without too much noise. A smallquiet restaraunt for a nice evening dinner or a quaint cafe for lunch. I could even enjoy a picnic at the beach or a nice park.
