Incurable romantic trapped in a technological world. I love music, reading, history, talking & listening, nature, the environment/Ishmael & animals. I'm also winsome, whimsical, sometimes impulsive, eccentric, affectionate, playful, slightly quixotic, domestically challenged, depressingly monogamous and a little old-fashioned. I have a dry sense of humor that likes to try to see the humorous side of anything. I enjoy camping, theme parks, Renaissance re-creation, dressing up (especially in Renaissance clothes!), mountains & solitude. I'm not a TV person, but I do like occasional movies. I love just about all types of music. It can be a great mood elevator - if it's the right music at the right time. Ultimately I guess there is always Prozac but I haven't tried that yet - music is less expensive and it's re-usable. Warning! - I live with 6 cats - they are my child substitutes - and I don't have to worry about putting them through college or giving them the keys to the car. Someday when I have more time I'll probably become the crazy cat lady that all the neighborhood kids wonder about & bedevil on Halloween. Everyone needs a career, even after retirement! My goal in life is to retire early to a big house on a large, wooded, secluded piece of property by a lake with lots of wildlife, lots of pets, several fireplaces & lots of books. With luck, I can turn it into a preserve and take in abandoned animals! I'm patiently waiting to win the lottery to accomplish this. One can only hope that instead one isn't living over a sewer grate in Port Authority trying to persuade the cats to stick around & not all pack their little bags . I love candlelit dinners with soft music in the background. Or walking arm-in-arm down a little village street or a park on a spring day. Maybe strolling through a museum or an art gallery or sitting in front of a warm fire on a cold evening sipping a glass of mead while we listen to quiet music in a darkened room. What do you like?

Kuan-Yin, affectionately known as “The Princess”, is a pedigree Tonkinese cat and is a real work of art. She is so beautiful she actually causes a pang in my heart. Have you ever noticed sometimes how a beautiful thing can be almost painful to view? When I look at her I feel a small, almost painful tug at my heart each time. That DOESN’T stop her from living up to her alternate, darker nickname of “Kitty Cujo” when she is in a temper. Wicca is a marmalade pound kitty and could stand to lose a few pounds. She is definitely a pleasingly plump female. Her nickname is PT – for Personal Trainer. When I work out, part of my workout is on an elliptical trainer, but I also do some floor exercises. When I’m finished on the machine, Wicca hightails it to the room and as soon as I lay down on the floor, she starts – kitty fashion – to knead my stomach. I’m not sure if this is acupressure, physical therapy, or a form of tenderizer – she may just be sizing me up for a meal. Sejanus and Caligula are pound kitties and supposedly litter-mates. They are gray tigers. I believe Sejanus is a secret member of the kitty coalition that intends to one day take over the world. I have reason to believe this because each time the phone rings on my fax machine upstairs, Sejanus races upstairs and stands by the fax machine staring intently at the papers coming out. I can only imagine he is waiting for the fax that will give him the go-ahead to begin the great revolution. I try to stay on his good side. Caligula’s nickname is “Spider-Cat” and he, too, could stand to lose a few pounds. He is rather a portly gentleman. He got his nickname one day when I noticed him sitting on top of the kitty condo, staring intently at a spot on the wall that he obviously thought was a spider. He was waiting for it to move. Finally, he abandoned waiting in favor of action and decided to attack. He launched himself, all four paws extended, off the kitty condo to a spot several feet up the wall. What he intended to do when he got there is unclear to me. I have come to the conclusion that he thought he would stick to the wall like velcro (or like Spiderman) while he addressed himself to the pseudo spider. Hence the name, Spider-Cat. Khepre is a pedigree Bengal and has been nicknamed “El Exigente” because he is very demanding. He's my little familiar and follows me (or precedes me!) all around the house to make sure I don't get lost. He knows I'm blonde. Pagan is a little black pedigree Bombay. She is quite the lady and doesn’t let anyone forget it. But, then, what can one expect from a Gemini.

Mom is the 7th cat, the one who works for a living to support the rest of us. She keeps hoping, one day, one of us will step up to the plate and volunteer to help with this but so far, no takers - it's all we can do just being house cats and looking after Mom. To this end, though, she reads to us frequently from Puss In Boots to give us what she hopes are broad hints. In turn, we tell her that 1) Puss In Boots is a FAIRY TALE and 2) It is almost impossible to get a good job when we lack opposable thumbs. (sigh). She loves us anyway. Mom may sound tough here, but in reality she is a pushover for anything furry. And we don't think she is REALLY serious about this job thing. She takes VERY good care of us - feeds us first - even before she eats - buys us toys and catnip, and plays with us whenever we ask her to. We're proud of her - we trained her very well and she was a fast learner.

I am a woman seeking a man age 50 to 80

In the main, looking for internet email friends, people for friendly online chat, maybe a local activity partner to go to Ren fairs, plays, movies, art galleries, museums with, to start. Not yet "dating", or "intimate encounters", or "marriage", just friends. For other than on-line chat, NON-SMOKERS ONLY, please! For those who have gotten this far and may want to go beyond that, please read on. Where relationships are concerned I have always been rather hopelessly old-fashioned and preferred them to start slow and build from friendship - so please, if you are not willing to be just friends for a LITTLE while (we're not talking YEARS here!), pass me by.(ahem) Also, you must be able to put up with 6 cats. While I don't take them with me when I go out no matter how much they beg, we are pretty inseparable at home. You should be, if not an animal lover, at least an animal tolerator! As for that elusive IDEAL relationship, well, relationships are like a box of chocolates - oops no, wait a minute wrong explanation. If I knew with any real degree of certainty what an ideal relationship was I quite possibly wouldn't be without one! I'm reasonably clear on what I DON'T want but the details on what I do want are still a bit hazy. Maybe, one day, we could build that ideal relationship together. Ultimately, I'm looking for someone who is intelligent, affectionate, witty and romantic, someone who likes to play and doesn't take himself too seriously. Someone who can be passionate one minute and my best friend in the next. Someone who doesn't mind getting cards and notes for no reason at all and who maybe will send some himself. I'd like to find someone who would enjoy going out to a museum or an art gallery, having a picnic or going camping for the weekend, taking in a play, staying home snuggling and talking so we remember what we love about each other.
