Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Wilton, 53 year old

Date someone special from Wilton, United States. Ok, what I meant with my "Dating Headline." I was in a long-term relationship (5 years), and do not have much recent practice with the dating thing. However, I am willing to learn. ;-)
A little about myself:
I was a member of "Match.com" many years ago and again about a year ago. I actually met someone on Match back in 2004, and fell in love. Unfortunately, that relationship did not survive. I tried Match again about a year ago, but I don't think the timing was good for me. So, I thought I would give Match another try.
I am fortunate to have retired from a long law enforcement career back in December 2009. Financially, I do not need to work. I have done some volunteer work with the Red Cross. I also have a home on 5 acres out in Wilton (a rural southern portion of Sac County), which at times can keep me busy.
I have two daughters, one 18 and the other is 33 (I started young;-). I also have two grandchildren. My 18 year daughter lives with her mother in Santa Rosa. My oldest daughter and grandchildren live in Texas. Yes, my ex does live in Texas. ;-)
I had the opportunity to travel Europe many years ago when I was in the Air Force. Now that I am retired, I would like to see the rest of the world. I would like to find someone to travel with me. Is that someone you?
If there is something you would like to know about me, just ask!
Happy New Year!
I hope the following does not come off wrong, but I have received some emails that caused me to update my profile and add this paragraph. Although my profile is relatively comprehensive, there are likely questions you may want to ask. I am 53 years old and my life story is a bit more than I want to publish on the internet/Match. I am happy to answer/respond to a reasonable amount of emailed questions. However, I am not interested in long series of email communications (i.e. - Pen Pals). If we are interested in learning more about one another, it is my opinion we need to speak on the phone and eventually meet in person (once the comfort level is there). To me the phone is much better medium of communication than email. We can hear the other's voice and all that goes along with speaking to someone (i.e. inflection, delayed responses, etc..). The world is full of weird people and I understand the need to be cautious. If either of my daughters were on Match (they are not), I would certainly want them to be cautious. I will be happy to supply my cell phone number if it makes you feel more comfortable. Again, I hope the preceding paragraph does not come off wrong.
