Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Carefree, 71 year old

Date people from Arizona, United States. I'm not looking for a lover or even for a new "best" friend. I'm looking, rather, for a few people who would be happy to have a new friend to meet over an occasional meal, or to go to the movies or museums with, or just to chat with over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Why no bell-ringing, star-bursting new lover for me? Because I have one now, a wonderful woman whom I love and admire but who lives one thousand miles away and whom, necessarily, I can only spend a few days from time to time (and that's now a situation that's likely to change soon). Ideally, my wonderful new friend or friends would live in or relatively close to Carefree, where I live.
Briefly: here's who I am. grew up and went to school mainly in England and still have an accent that is more English than not. I've worked - often quite successfully - in the academic world, on Wall Street, as an antiquarian bookseller, and as an entrepreneur; I have always also worked as a freelance writer and lecturer, and have for some years now been researching a rather obscure topic of art history. I have traveled widely and often, and speak a smattering of several languages. People think of me as intellectual, highly educated, cultured, serious and sometimes even humorous. I think of myself as perhaps all those things too but also as enthusiastic, warm-hearted, occasionally too opinionated and pompous, but always willing to acknowledge my faults and to apologize for tactlessness. My children think of me as stodgy and old-fashioned; however, loving them as I do I have had to accept that even some of the most wonderful people in the world have terrible taste in music, have limited vocabularies, unexamined values, and no books in their home.
