Balance is a key quality in my life as symbolized by the yin/yang of Taoism. As such, I span a broad range, and I'd prefer someone who understands that most things can be appropriate at different times.

I describe myself as adventurous and romantic, strong and gentle, playful, fun and mature, spiritual, fit, and a non-smoker. I'm fairly deep, intelligent, observant, reflective, soft-spoken, and 'sweet' (I've been told).

I like to do lots of different things: wine and dining, exploring and day trips, hiking, sailing, movies, window shopping, fairs, social cooking, snuggling, kissing--sharing life with one special person!

To provide a few specifics about myself...
- I'm 5'9, 170; I run almost every day.
- I was raised with manners--open doors, say please/thank you etc.
- I am not a neatnik but not horribly messy either.
- NOT a Type A! I do love organization, but I'm too lazy to implement it!
- I *have* a tux but usually wear jeans.
- I love gourmet or can just as easily eat at BK but prefer anything 'interesting';
- I prefer many long weekends over one big trip (unless it's Italy or France!).
- I am a TV/movie type person; don't read much except for politics or personal growth.
- I listen to NPR in the afternoon and Stern in the morning.
- I'm 60% Yin or Omega vs 40% Alpha or Yang.

All in all, a mixed bag of a lot of different things



For the astrologically curious, I am a Scorpio with Pisces Moon, Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus in Libra, and Mars in Scorpio. I'd be happy to do yours if you're interested :) For those who don't already know, you really need to look at all 9 planets to see the individual beyond the broad generalization of your sun sign (well, at least 5 planets!)


Some things from my past: used to own a motorcycle; taught at a sailing camp on Cape Cod; owned a 31' sailboat; took flying lessons; skydived--3 times; rode horses well--competed in dressage; spent one night in jail (for an old, unpaid speeding ticket); have driven down the Cote d'Or of France in October; and sailed around the BVI's, and have participated in a few different 'seminars' over the years including Tony Robbins, Insight, Creating Success, MSIA, Reiki, and meditation at the Omega Institute.

I have two wonderful teen boys, 18 & 20, whom I love and adore; and I also appreciate my time and freedom of not *always* having them (hard for some people to understand). I've been through two marriages now: one 22yrs ago for 8yrs; then 10yrs passed before another one for 4yrs.  Since everybody asks, I had met someone online over 7yrs ago--a doctor from Venezuela; she moved here and we got married, and then one day she told me that we got married too quickly because of visa requirements, so here I am, starting all over again.

I love to explore, visit, day trips, even window shop new places. I like to go out to dinner at least one night per week and then some event or activity every other weekend such as to visit Manayunk, Baltimore, or DC, and I have my two boys, 18 & 20, over every other weekend and one night a week. I love movies, so I'll watch a couple per week--subscriber of Netflix. I am gainfully employed and also own a small startup company online. I work a regular 8-4:30/weekdays.

One interesting little project that I just finished is translating a friend's book from Spanish for publication in English called La Ley Universal de la Atraccion y La Travesia de Maite at www.light-la.com. very interesting subject matter! In fact, it's now available on Kindle! The Universal Law of Attraction - Maite's Journey of Discovery

1> family&friends; b) health; III] the internet; air; five golden rings; sex(really, physical intimacy). and most recently I have to add my new Droid X (woohoo)

On the other hand, things I could do without!! Brussel sprouts, gin, retsina wine, slasher movies, smoking(anything), lawn ornaments.

gravity. literally!

@home cooking/watching a movie. I have to admit--I'm not a fan of standing in lines; why not go out on a Tuesday or Thursday and get right in?!

I've actually had cat scratch fever once; it wasn't really anything much--just swollen glands and it passed in a few days (many years ago!!)

I use composite astrology to predict, with amazing accuracy and insight, how a relationship will probably go with a potential mate. So far they've always proved to be 100% accurate! I'll be happy to do a composite profile for you and a relationship you have or had; just send me two birth dates.
