My philosophy is, you only go
around once ... so enjoy every
minute of it. I'm always
looking for new things to do, new
places to go. In May, I'm
going to my first Buddhist
retreat. Last year, I visited
villages in Ecuador, and the year
before that went on a nature
cruise in SE Alaska. Wherever I
go, I love the outdoors.
Taking photos of wildlife is a
hobby, and I take my dogs on
outings to the beach, etc. I also
enjoy music, both listening
and playing. I have a couple
of accordions and guitars and
play with friends when I have
the chance.

I've earned a
living as a writer all my
life. Now that I'm mostly retired
from science/health writing,
I work on my own projects,
spending more and more time on
photography and graphic arts.
My grandchildren take up much
of my time, too (three boys,
ages 7, 6, and 3).

Since 2000, I've attended AA meetings
regularly, where I've made many
good friends. I have no
moral views about alcohol ... I
just know that my life is better
without it. I've laughed more
in the last five years than in
the five decades before.

My accomplishments are that
I'm a good enough writer to have
made a living at it for
over 40 years. I can play a few
musical instruments enough to
stumble along in jam sessions
with friends. I'm an excellent
photographer and a middling
artist.

People tell me
I'm attractive and look much
younger than I am. They also
tell me I'm amusing and fun to be
with. I'm a great
grandmother, too.

Smart, funny men appeal to me. Education doesn't matter, as long as a man is intelligent, quick-witted and loves to laugh. I avoid men who are politically conservative, deeply involved with Christianity, and into material things. Men who enjoy the outdoors, feel a kinship with animals, and are kind to the environment appeal to me. I like men who relate to women, children and dogs well, and who are kind and compassionate. If a man enjoys reading, that's a plus, but it's not essential. What is important is that the man gets a kick out of life, can see the funny side of things, and knows how to be a friend.
