I have a ready smile for people I pass on the street or in the store. I'm outgoing so I often will offer my help to a confused tourist or start chatting with people while waiting for a table at the restaurant. I go with the flow, with very little really getting to me. Although I am passionate about issues and people that I care about and have enjoyed a good debate with smart people.

I am looking for someone who may or may not be as outgoing and friendly, but you really appreciate that I am. You are interested in intellectual conversations and inane tv shows. Movies, theaters, live music, long drives with no destination in mind, great restaurants, and good friends are all things you enjoy.

I earned my MBA last year and a few months ago I bought my first house. I have a great little but friendly dog that keeps me happy. My three children are all grown and live in other states. I miss them and my grandchildren, but I am giddy that I have the privilege of living in the Pacific Northwest.
