Looking for an interesting woman I can cook dinner for, talk and listen to, and more. Asparagus soup, coq a vin or stir fry with soba noodles? Good food lubricates good conversation, though that is not the only rea I'm posting here. As for the conversation, my background and interests are extremely eclectic---a lot of left brain stuff I use in my professional job, and more recently some right brain stuff too, including reading a lot of fiction these days, and learning about classical music. I'm average height and weight, with a full, closely trimmed beard, and tend to dress in sports jackets, at least during the winter. I'm looking for a self-confident woman.
