I'm open to dating, friendship, and the very occasional and rare roll in the hay until someone I can get serious about comes along. I'm really interested in something more substantial than NSA fun. I like guys my age and up, give or take ten years in either direction, but nothing is written in stone. If we connect that's great. I'm a writer, mostly poetry, and my first book came out last year. It's a collection of poems called Heroes and Householders--there's a link below. I've been a museum administrator and a college level English teacher. I have all the usual interests. I was a baker for ten years before going back to school, so I make my own bread and dessert is always good. Pretty good cook too. Just got a cam so if you want to see what I look like now and have one yourself you won't be in for any surprises when I show up for coffee. I'm HIV- (as of Aug 2010) but POZ friendly. My last two boyfriends were both positive and I do not discriminate by sero-status. I'm sober and haven't either smoked or had alcohol in over 24 years. Not interested in dating people who use drugs or are anything more than very occasional social drinkers or smokers. Also not usually interested in guys who are married or have partners, or need to be so discreet that they can't post a picture, although there have been exceptions.
