I've traveled widely and enjoy good conversation with good people. I have a good sense of humor, enjoy cooking and eating tasty vegetarian food. I don't drink or smoke and try to meditate each day but I'm not a missionary and don't expect others to do anything other than be themselves. Feeling the Bern, I've always leaned left.
