Date men and women from United States / California / Atascadero, 54 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I'm a quiet, laid-back kind of guy that is most comfortable at home, but cabin fever is sure to strike if I don't get out to see the world now and then. After all, there is so much to experience out there!
Around the home, I like technology, cooking, some TV, Netflix for movies (all genres, domestic and foreign, blockbuster and indie) and keeping my place pretty clean (a challenge when I have my 14 year old son staying with me, which is now most of the time).
Outside, I enjoy day hikes, photographing where I've been and power walking for exercise.
I have not traveled enough in my lifetime and would definitely like to do more, possibly to such places as New Zealand/Australia or Europe in addition to here in the good old USA.
I'm looking for woman that is also easygoing. One that has similar interests of course, but also dissimilar ones that may allow for either personal time or a new path to spending time together. If I'm not answering messages, try going 2POF for an easier means of communication.
Lastly, a reminder that I am currently separated with the divorce in process. Sorry if emails are not being answered, as I am not yet a paid subscriber. Still looking at different sites.

Meet men and women from California, United States. Wow, seriously, this is the third time I have attempted to write this(maybe third time is the charm)?The first time, I finished, felt satisfied that what I had written was an accurate description of myself, and the someone I am in hopes of attracting, I then clicked on the "send for approval" icon, and what I wrote disappeared into never never land, UGH, (maybe I was supposed to push the "enter" button on my computer first)? Anywho, the second time I accidently pushed something on my lap top, and again it disappeared. Okay, so it is apparent that I am not very computer savy, "What-Ever" (valley girl accent applied)! Well, I do suppose that it demonstrates a "stick-to-it-ness" quality I possess(begin a task...). So here goes, back to the task at hand... How would my closest friends, co-workers, kids describe me? I believe they would say I am kind, caring, loving, friendly, appreciative, approachable, hard working, intellegent, thoughtful, honest, faithful,(loyal), energetic, trustworthy, protective, helpful, creative, artistic, organized, prepared(I kind of sound like a cross between an Eagle Scout, and a Golden Retriever)!Hmmm. Oh, and I NEED daily at least some small bit of dark chocolate, and I preter my coffee mostly chocolate with a splash of coffee.(just kidding, sort of):) To continue, I am in hopes of attracting a "like-minded" individual, someone intellegent, caring, thoughtful, energetic, faithful, trustworthy, honest, kind-hearted, easy to talk to, hardworking, approachable, friendly, appreciative, good manager of his money, takes care of himself, eats healthy(most of the time), exersizes regularly,wakes up happy to be alive, starts each day with a positve attitude. (Oh, and keeps his fingernails, and toenails clean, and trimmed nicely) What am I most passionate about? The importance of we "the human inhabitants" of earth being much better stewards of our planet. Not being such a throw-away society, developing clean, safe energy, taking care of our land, air and oceans. Recycling efficiently, cleaning up after ourselves(starting with our teenage son's, or daughter's rooms) :) Seriously, being accountable for our actions, not "checking our brains at the door", not accepting as fact everything that is "spoon-fed" to us by the "powers that be"! (did I mention I am a very passionate person?) Hmm, you made it this far, let me add, I love the sound of the rain, (enjoy lightening storms) (so far only experienced West Coast storms, which I understand are kind of wussy compared to the midwest), I have a deep love and appreciativeness of nature all around us, I talk and sing to my animal and plant friends (no I don't wear tie-dyed clothes, or look like Snow White). I love to be close to someone I care for, physical contact is important, a touch, a hug, a kiss,(and a really good kiss when you know you are the center of his universe for at least that moment in time), well, WOW!!!
I began this internet experience a few months ago, (no commitment with actually subscribing, kind of a window shopping, seeing whats(whos)(sp) out there). It is a tad overwhelming wouldn't you agree? I have always been the sort of girl who dreamed of a chance meeting of that one in a million kinda guy(no need to check his finger prints or DNA in the FBI, or Interpol Registries). HHHmmm, a girl can dream can't she? Anywho, I am closer to actually making the plunge and subscribing, but most likely I will not post a photo, (but will, with the aid of one of my kids, learn how to email photos), I know, I know wake up and embrace the internet age! I have received many emails, but have been unable to read them, so they have been deleted with time by the "Match.com powers that be", sorry to those of you that emailed me earlier.
