Wide ranging. Art, painting, music (classical, early, church, contemporary, rock, jazz), psychology (anything about understanding humans, canines), literature, health & medicine, economics to some extent. Love the outdoors, botany, geology, wilderness, ocean. My tastes are very simple, only the best, which can mean the most truthful, the most wise, the most aesthetic, natual, untouched, introspective, sensuous, or the most refined, depending on judgement context or meeting of desire(s).
I serve on a Board of a nonprofit classical music performance organization, and enjoy giving back.

LOOKING FOR - that singular man that I can respect, admire and support. He is bright, kind, capable of giving and receiving love, values the life enhancement a woman can bring, has integrity and ironclad ethics, has goals and achievements, successful somehow in his realm, is self aware. I would like to share a unique sense of humor between us, and outright affection, including PDAs.

VERY interested in your favorite writers.

What are you looking for in life, and in a woman, and what do you expect to find or attain in each?

After some phone conversation, dinner where we can sit, talk, and laugh, fairly confidentially, and stroll about afterwards, maybe with a view. Or a really cool lecture or museum with food & drinks and conversation afterwards. Anyone who has content, purpose and ethics is someone I would like to know. Could include a sunset, but that could be on the second date. Physically and metaphorically tall enough to look up to.

Not into structured arbitrary rule-bound games like cards and board games. Am into people, feelings, support, pleasure, sensuality, concepts, ideas, art, painting, and some human progress. You can be a chess or whatever wizard with your buddies, I'll pour the gourmet coffee for you and go back to my art studio. We'll rendevouz later.

Movies - To Play the King, The History Boys, The Queen, all the Monty Python stuff, anything about Queen Elizabeth. All the Christie and Poroit series by BBC. Yes, am an Anglophile. Lots of history and literary stuff.

Music - Bach, Haydn, Handel, Mozart, all the classics. Contemporary - including Beatles, Enya. Rock, metal, including Cream, Stones, Foreigner, etc.

Anything that moves me or enlightens me.
Sorry, NO horror films.
