I’m outgoing, honest, a good friend, perceptive, adventurous, caring, a basic sense of decency, and an infectious curiosity about the world, people, and issues.
I’m interested in the arts – art, architecture, photography, classical music. I’m looking for someone with whom to explore Chicago and other cities. I also like quiet times, relaxing, and cooking at home.
I was born in Chicago, grew up in the suburbs, raised my son in the exurbs, back Near North for over 25 years. First life: a school librarian, second life: developed corporate training, newest life: retired, but not retiring. Active in social justice issues, writing children’s books.

I'm looking for a man who is intelligent, kind, honest, with integrity, and a sense of humor, who is able to look me in the eye, and smile.
He is at ease with himself, comfortable in many settings, interesting and interested in the world. Willing to laugh at the world, and at ourselves, someone who is close with family and friends. Wants to give back. A real mensch, in other words.
