1945sec, 78

I have a youthful outlook on life and, I hope, an outward look of youth (relatively speaking). I enjoy good books, food and wine. I am not athletic, but enjoy nature and the outdoors. My musical tastes are eclectic, encompassing almost any genre which is well conceived and well performed with the possible exception of country and jazz. The latter is too cerebral and the former ... just not my cup of tea. I'm told that I have an excellent sense of humor and can be quite playful once you get to know me.
I am currently a high school special education teacher. I started my career as an English teacher and was later a vice-principal and principal of private special ed schools in NJ.
I would like to meet a man who is comfortable in any social situation, is self-assured but not arrogant, is intelligent but not overly intellectualizing (Is that a word?), and who is looking for a woman with whom to share good times. I am not ruling out the possibility of a long-term relationship, but I would like to start on a more casual basis.
I am not particular about physical appearance, but I prefer a man who is taller than I am, and you must have a sparkle in your eye.
