In Her Own Words
About her
I've neglected virtually everything in favor of work, profession, business and acquisitions. Even so, I didn't neglect my mind or the expansion of my thought processes. Being alone-ish is brutalizing, reading widely and petting the needy pit bull whose experience at the county shelter demoralized him is just not a substitute for an adult companion. How to enjoy an oceanfront house and be an experimental cook without an audience? I've never had a bad breakup or divorce so I must be a reasonable person. I guess I'm a black widow since I've outlived my husbands. What would I like? A guy who knows who Joshua Slocum is, who can wield a decent grammatical sentence, or perhaps one who likes early morning hours as do I. My outlook on life? I'm involved in a couple of lousy lawsuits which on an interim basis I keep winning and somehow I manage not to be daunted. I have never yet managed to be on my brother's boat as he and his wife travel around the world: always too busy. That sums me up. No, there's a couple of other things: I don't take prescription or non prescription medication, I have been told I have remarkable intelligence, and I guess I'm a bit wily. Maybe also witty. I suppose I should edit all this but again, it's a character revealing moment for you to see that it's going to go out just the way I wrote it. No polishing. Oh dear, I've made myself sound like a lonely librarian. Honestly, I would like to have fun, I'm just not certain about camping in Yurts, or eating innocent worms, or going on ghastly cruises.
About her ideal match
Wry. Given to intuitive understanding of when to make a cup of tea. Kind. A quiet observer of good grammatical rules. A guy with a modicum of modesty. Your career ought to have been important (I ended up as a judge pro tem in the legal field and now work frenziedly in my business) to you but not necessarily to others. I'd like to say in the academic field but I'm afraid then you'd be too political. I'd like to say a committed beekeeper, but then I'd find you wouldn't wash. It's an enigma wrapped in a conundrum for me to know exactly who I would like: Perhaps you should like the New York Times and read it for the superlative use of language among other things. You could also be fond of the countryside, not judgmental and definitely not someone who says "I'd like to walk with you on a sunlit beach." In other words, no trite, politically correct, uber confident men, please. Humility isn't an underrated trait.
