I enjoy reading, vegetarian cooking, languages and cultures, the arts, museums and galleries, exercise, the outdoors, photography, pottery, hiking, swimming, wondering and wandering (especially outdoors).

I am fascinated by language(s) and cultures.

I am passionate about photography on an (enthusiastically) amateur basis. In case you're curious, I shoot with a 35mm film SLR. My apologies for the paucity of photos of me; I'm usually the photographer rather than the subject.

Care for a cup and a conversation?

I am eclectic, curious, adventurous, observant and a bit contemplative. In other words: I'm interested in almost everything, I'll ask questions about your interests, I enjoy exploring new places, and I'll ponder what I've noticed in conversations and travels--which will probably lead to more questions! I comfortably wonder and wander alone as well as in company.

I am a vegetarian, but omnivores are welcome.

I would enjoy meeting someone with a tale to tell. If I've got you intrigued, please do get in touch (polyglotone at yahoo). Let's have a cup and a conversation.

All the best in your search.

John Berger, Guy Gavriel Kay, Madeleine L'Engle, Anne McCaffrey, Maria Rosa Menocal, Kathleen Norris, George Orwell, Oliver Sacks, Susan Sontag, J.R.R. Tolkien.

What are you reading, exploring, or learning about? Why that subject or title, and why now?

Middle Eastern traditional; medieval Arab, Jewish, and Spanish; folk; big band/swing; jazz; blues; almost anything live.

My preferred soundtrack depends on the script: At work, I usually listen to Gregorian chant, classical, and the like; when cooking or creating I enjoy something rhythmic, such as Middle Eastern traditional or big band--or anything that makes my feet move.
