Let's face it, we're all attractive, well-adjusted, mature, young, and beautiful. I love jeans, especially tight ones, and have bought many on eBay (I am an eBay addict!).  I have learned not to take life too seriously, and the older I get, the more I'm told to have less stress in my life.  Sharing my life with more gay friends is, I think, the best medicine.
I can make any group laugh (but I'm not a comedian).  I make people feel comfortable (partly from my graduate education, and partly from my life experience and common sense--which a lot of people don't have much of).  I can be extraordinarily shy at first, but warm up over time (like something sitting in the sun).  I am adventurous, which is why I like to go camping every July in Maine.  Ten years or so on a whim I took up flying.  It scared my mother to death, not to mention me.  I enjoyed the lessons I had immensely but the instructor neglected to tell me how much it all cost and the time it took.  So I've moved on.  A recent pet tarantula, that I had for over 19 years, died.  So I went looking for another, accidentally order what a doctor told me at Fairfax Hospital was "one of the most poisonous spiders in the world," survived the extremely painful, but not fatal, bite.  Now I have a much more docile one, from Chile.   It's real.  When people ask me why I have one, I say simply, "It starts conversations" (although it has ended some as people flee the room).  But it's come to a time in my life where I would like to share my experiences in a more intimate way with a close friend, someone that can go to the movies with me, and chat about it afterwards at a bar or coffee shop, someone that would like to take hikes with me in Shenandoah National Park, or as my knees are getting a little more rusty, visiting Virginia wineries!

I have been financially successful in life, own my own condo, and am close to retirement.  About 3 years ago, started collecting etchings from John Taylor Arms (1890-1953).  His grandson, one of my best friends, died just 3 years ago this month from non-Hodgkins lymphoma.  When I retire, I  would like to move away from Washington, DC to the Virginia countryside, but have offers to do consulting (teaching technical writing) on occasion in DC.  I don't have a boyfriend, and would like one that can share the passions and joys of life.

PLEASE - NO PHOTO GETS NO ANSWER.  I would like to meet someone that isn't a one-date man, who has a nice body, but more than that.  Above all, he has got to have a sense of humor.  He needs to be able to hold me in check sometimes (one former boyfriend had a saying, "Calm is nice" which helped me a lot).  He likes to go to symphonies with me, and maybe he could introduce me to other types of entertainment.  He doesn't use drugs, and cannot smoke, because I am allergic to smoke.  Drinking is okay, though, but not to excess.  He doesn't mind my various fetishes, which include jeans and various activities with the jeans on (more on that when I meet you).  Having a car would be nice, and a place he doesn't mind taking me to.  That's about it for now.
