I am retired and have three young grandchildren. I am divorced. I have lived with my female partner for many years. I tend to be an introvert, but I have friends over a wide range of ages and backgrounds. I enjoy learning about science, art, culture, etc. I am a beginning amateur astronomer and am active in a local astronomy group. I have traveled in Western Europe and particularly enjoy the culture, wine, and cheese in France. I am passionate about wine. I enjoy cooking and baking and have a collection of favorite recipes, including ones I have developed. I am mostly a vegetarian.
