I am an adventurous, physically active, intellectually curious woman. I love to laugh and have bright eyes and a contagious smile. I enjoy movies. Some of my recent favorites are Real Women Have Curves, Frida, and Femme Fatale. Among my all time favorites, Indochine and The English Patient. I do enjoy the occasional Bond film or a Mel Brooks movie, but definitely shy away from flics with gratuitous violence and slasher films. I enjoy going to the theatre (more dramas than musicals) and love seeing contemporary dance and ballet. I like art, preferring the impressionist and post-impressionist artists. I enjoy learning about the artist's life finding that it gives me a new appreciation for their work; I see it with a different perspective. I enjoy bicycling and this year attempted and completed my first triathalon. I loved it! I also enjoy yoga. I find it helps improve my strength and flexibility as well as calming and focusing my mind. I have an introspective quiet side and enjoy time to read, relax, and catch up with my family and friends. I read mostly fiction, literature, biographies and historical fiction. Some of my favorite authors; Antoine De St. Exupery, Margaret Atwood, Barbara Kingsolver, Tom Robbins, Wallace Stegner, Jeanette Winterson, Paul Bowles, and Joseph Campbell. I'm most comfortable in my jeans and a fleece jacket or shorts and a T-shirt, but enjoy dressing for the right occasion. Please drop me a line if interested.
