I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

This is the hard part, isn't it? Putting "me" into words. I've got two amazing grown kids that I adore and a loving, supportive family. I love words and ideas, philosophy and knowledge, stimulating conversation and intelligent debate.What else do I love? Hhhmmmmm.... my nieces, the sun, laughing, books, the water, being kissed properly, Cardinals baseball, cooking, my cats, travel (especially road trips), classic movies, racing, shoes, "Between Roast" Community Coffee, and being "courted". (Did I mention shoes???)

My Interests

Cardinals baseball, travel, exploring wherever I find myself, words and ideas, racing, the sun and water, history, throwing darts (old school cork board's the bomb!), finding that sign that says "massage therapy here"

I'd like to meet:

John F. Kennedy, CS Lewis, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe- when it's my time to go! Marilyn fascinates me- I was born the day she died.
