I'm active, decently educated both formally/experientially; creative... I love good conversation accompanied by smiles/laughter & I'm also a good listener. I'm skilled in several arenas; not rich but "ok". For the next 2/3 months I'm finishing my self-designed anchorage home. Once done, I'm excited about new life-paths that flexible time/attitude,& job-free income may open.I'm a fairly frequent traveler, at home with other cultures, backgrounds- I've a tux as well as flannels,& enjoy everything from fine hotels to sea-kayaking in the rain- and PBS mysteries! Spiritual, humbly prayerful, I'm creative, love to play, but don't mind handling the tedious. I'm loyal to friends; into kindness/communication/laughter/intelligenc e/spontaneity. I've a high regard for ethics/mutual respect, & seek the same in a partner- attractive appearance/sensuality don't hurt either! I've worked at a number of things: teaching, research, fishing, univ./gov't. admin., entrepreneurship. I enjoy the "fresh eyes" of youth, & like working with young people. Oh, I'm a cat person- I've 2, a mom/son, who are also indepedent, playful & affectionate -
