Hello.
I made the mistake of not stating that I am ONLY interested in meeting people in the NORTH San Francisco Bay area.  Please no letters from anywhere more than an hour from here.

Here again is my posting....
I am a fairly attractive,  39 year old Computer professional with 2 grown children. (I had gotten married at a VERY young age and now they are grown up and I am still young enough to enjoy the rest of my life.)  
I have blue/green eyes, medium brown hair, 5'6".  Non-smoker.  Actually, I keep getting told that I look really good for my age.  Few people believe me at first when I tell them that I am over 35.
I am originally from Portland, and have been living in California for ~6 years.  I lived in the south bay for ~4 years and then moved out to Grass Valley area for ~1 1/2 years.  I have just moved to the Berkeley area, from Grass Valley, because I have taken a job with the Center for Extreme UltraViolet Astrophysics, at UC Berkeley.
I am seeking a non-smoker who is not interested in having children, but would be interested in developing a long-term relationship. I have been single for ~14 years and what I really what at this point in my life is someone whom I can count on to be there with/for me now that I have the freedom to explore the world.
I am very adventurous, and like to see and experience new things. With the exception, of course, of things that are self-destructive. 
I really like Music.  All kinds of music.  My CD collection is sort of split between Jazz and Rock with a small classical section.  I also really enjoy dancing.  
I am looking forward to getting settled in here and finding out what sort of places there are near by to go listen to live Music.  They had a few fun places in Nevada City, which is right next to Grass Valley.
I used to sail when I was in Portland.  But since I moved down here I have been spending most of my time working on my career.
I enjoy hiking, bike riding, dancing, sailing and writing.  Though that last few years I have spent a large amount of my off hours learning much as I can about computers and how it all fits together.  
Now I know more than most people ever cared to know about Unix and Sun Workstations, but I REALLY like what I do for a living.
Other than that, I enjoy riding my mtn. bike to work, computers, sailing, computers, walking on the beach, computers, writing short stories, raising orchids, programming, reading sci-fi or fantasy short stories, dancing, and.... Oh, yes.  Computers.
:-)  :-)  :-)
For Music I like most types of music.  Except "big band", twangy country western, and blues or rap that degrades women. (I LOVE the blues and like the rythme of some rap)
My cd's cover a range from Windom Hill to Adam Ant.  I REALLY like Laurie Anderson, Ricky Lee Jones, Grateful Dead, George Winston, David Benoit, Nine Inch Nails, Pink Floid, Ron Carter, Spiro Gyra, ZZ Top, Led Zeplin, Enya....
It depends on what mood I am in and what I am doing.

My kids are 22 and 23.  And Kevin would be 16, but he was killed in a car accident 11 years ago.  My Daughter, 23, has 3 children and my Son, 22, has one.  Everyone lives in Porland, except Mike, my son.  He moved down here last year and lives with me.  I've gotten him hooked on my toys and I think he plans to stay forever. ( he has the 3/50 in his room and I have an SLC in my office area)
It is great fun now that Mike has a job.  We can go 'dutch'.  It is also fun that he is over 21 and doesn't drink because I have a designated driver and don't have to hesitate having a glass of wine with dinner.  Though it IS funny that I have been asked if he is my boyfriend.  I really DO look too young to be his mother.
Now, about my name, it is pronounced Awnnadeawna.  The As being said as in mama, or lama and the I has the sound of a long e.
My mother is from Munich and I have retained the European pronunciation.

About you...
what sort of music do you like? What do you like to do?  Where do you like to go?  You know, just general stuff.

Additional things you might throw in are things like, what do you actually do for in your job?, what type of system are you using? what are your favorite trade rags?  :)
Okay, I'm just kidding about the trade rags.  :)
