On a daily basis, I enjoy spending my 'solitary time' reading and doing research; investing/stock market monitoring (e.g., via BNN); keeping abreast of current events and world affairs via PBS News Hour, NBC Nightly News, and "Charlie Rose"; gym workouts/weight-training; problem solving using the Internet. Usually I spend my Sundays doing just about anything (e.g., watching the Sunday news shows [especially Global Public Square -GPS- with Fareed Zakaria on CNN], reading, cooking, wine-making, carpentry, love-making, chess, music-making, watching a video...), but, whatever it is, I love doing it most with someone who enjoys it as much as I.

This decent-looking, well-informed, semi-retired, self-employed professional is searching for that one-and-only very attractive, well-educated, engaging woman professional (50-70) to share intimate moments learning about each other, discussing whatever we're comfortable discussing (e.g., hopes and needs, wants and desires, events and ideas, news and documentaries, families...), while savoring a glass of wine and, perhaps, preparing a gourmet dinner; also simply enjoying each other's company while reading, listening to music, dancing, staying in shape, taking an occasional motorcycle or canoe day-trip, having fun at casino or billiards tables, a wine making party with friends.

If two of your closest friends were asked to describe you, what do you think they would say?
What do you most enjoy doing?
What is your favourite movie of all-time, and why?
How important to you is it to "stay fit and in shape"?
If you could travel to any place you chose, what would be your choice?
If you had to leave everything behind, but got to choose 5 things to take with you, what would they be?
If I were to meet that special someone for the first time, the ideal setting might be a quiet little cafe where we can enjoy a glass of wine or two while discovering whether a shared 'chemistry' exists... or not.
