Date men and women from United States / Alabama / Gulf Shores, 61 year old

Date people from Alabama, United States. I’m a single white male with a full head of salt/pepper hair 195 pounds, six feet tall with blue eyes a goatee and mustache. Well traveled and educated (BS, MS and PhD). I bike an average of 250 miles a month, compete in bike races if they aren’t too far away. I was a sponsored rider by Wal-Mart for four years – not any longer. In general like to keep fit. I enjoy hiking and a little weight lifting as well.
For me communication, humor, compatibility and a shared vision of the future are the characteristics of what in my mind is the basis for a finding my other half. I find intelligence a very attractive quality - I listen more than I talk – do rather than watch – think before I speak or do.
I’m a retired marine biologist and spend a lot of my time exercising, writing, reading, watching movies and trying my hand at making furniture among other things. I write a newspaper column on marine and environmental issues for a group of seven local newspapers. I had a TV show called 'Ecobites' for three years on a local cable channel. I've started the process of self-syndicating my newspaper column and I freelance for Gannett newspapers.
I talked about regional and global environmental issues from various sites on the Gulf of Mexico.
A five years ago I created a BLOG from my old traditional web site and I have been posting my columns plus other items on it. It has been evolving in a new direction the last few of months and I think I like it.
I'm from Connecticut originally but have lived and travel over most of the US. I lived in Japan when I was in the Navy. I have travel to England, Canada, Mexico and Trinidad / Tobago for lecturing or pleasure. I've wanted to move to Oregon once I sell my house for several years now. That has not happened in five years, may not happen for some time yet and if I meet her it may never happen.
I lived in Eugene, Oregon in 1980 for a few months and loved it. There are part-time teaching slots open at U. of O and I'll try and get in. I'm open to other areas in the northwest but I'm focused on being involved with a college and in a university town.
Writing something like this is difficult because it ends up sounding like a shopping list. So, I’ve put some of my feelings into words. I hope you find them worthy of your consideration.
The woman I seek is at peace with herself – she looks forward in her life. She looks back only to learn the lesson - whether for good or bad and moves on. Blame is not given only solutions sought. She forgives herself as she forgives others. She’s comfortable in blue jeans or gown and does the intellectual and physical equally well. Can drink beer with the boys or Champagne with the gentry. She looks for reasons to do something, not to avoid it. Love of life and learning color her day. Romance and passion rule her night. For her love is a candle in the darkness that she seeks before time fades it. Giving up is not in her nature.
Besides columns on science and biology I write a little poetry when the muse is upon me. Let me know what you think of the following one:
- Finding what was lost -
When we lose our family we are driven to find another. Whether they are of our blood or not it doesn't matter.
We search for them in bars, sports arenas and shared effort. And if, by these endeavors, we find them or not we make ourselves whole again.
Through the dreams of the young for what might be or the memories of the old for what might have been, they are with us.
We walk in their shadow, taking comfort in the shade.
I hope you enjoyed it.

Meet men and women from Alabama, United States. I'm a retired Marine Biologist, white, 52 (Cancer), single, 190 lbs., 6'0'', dark brown/silver hair with a mustache. I'm confident in my abilities, intellect and secure with my life, future and myself. I don't smoke or use drugs and I drink socially. I don't have any children and don't want any. I don't attend church services. I ran for many years but switched to biking. I bike 500 miles a month and ride in charitable activities like the MS15O bike tour in Orange Beach coming up this September. With biking my long-term goal is to get enough riders together to bike across country as a fund raising event for charity. While I was a marine biologist I spent a good bit of time writing grants to raise money and public speaking, so… I’m continuing to use those abilities just in new areas. In the seventies, when I lived in various parts of coastal California, I SCUBA dived twice a week. My education includes A.A., B.S., M.S., Ph.D., plus four years in the Navy as a cryptographer and a pilot's license. I read from many subject areas but history and historical fiction are my primary areas of interest at the moment. I once spoke good conversational Japanese but that was 30 years ago when I lived there and it has long since faded to a few choice words and phrases. I know bits and pieces of German, Spanish and Russian. For me communication, humor and a shared vision of the future are the characteristics of what in my mind is the basis for finding you. I find kindness and intelligence very attractive qualities - I listen more than I talk – do rather than watch – think before I speak or do. I spend a good bit of my time exercising, writing, reading, watching movies, and trying my hand at learning/making furniture among other things. I work a few hours a week doing small to medium home repair – something new for me. If Alabama’s budget has enough money I should be teaching at a junior college part-time this fall. I want to meet someone who would like a man ike me.I seek a one man woman who is as comforable hiking in shorts as she is in a gown at the theater. Her tastes are eclectic in food, music, literature and art. Loyal, kind and honest, she thinks before she acts and acts on what she thinks. Fit yes, but not fanatic that it would blind her to other things. She would know that there is only so much time to spend and she would spend it wisely. If you are this stranger in a strange land please light a candle for me with an e-mail because I feel the same way. It is in the shelter of each other that we live.
