Date men and women from United States / California / Beverly Hills, 87 year old

Date a woman from United States. I like to think of myself as an earthy woman with a pedicure. I have multiple interests, and, like you, I am hard to pigeon-hole.
People tell me that I sound like Streisand. I wish...I did study voice for 10 years, but never, in my wildest dreams, could I sound like that. I studied to understand the process and to enrich my appreciation for those who really do it.
But I do love the theater, opera, most music (except Reggae), the Beatles, and classical music. I go to opera performances on a regular basis and have recently been enjoying them even more at their HD Live presentations.
I am in the health profession, an instructor, and author. I have written - and published - 4 books, including the most used textbook in my field. So your physical fitness is important to me. I am not looking for Adonis - but a guy who cares about his health and appearance. Smokers need not apply. I used to be an amateur bodybuilder. But these days, the fight is with Father Time and Mother Nature - I know you understand.
I live (and work) at home in Brooklyn with my teenage son who will soon be starting high school. (Where did the time go???)
Politically, I lean left. Fall over is more like it. Intolerance has no authority or voice in my politics. We ALL deserve a chance. Close-minded people need not apply.
Do you have an open, compassionate heart? Are you youthful, energetic, spirited, and looking for someone to enjoy NYC and environs with? Let's hear from you! A word of advice: I will only respond to you if you post your photo and WRITE to me. Winks are ignored, so let's hear what's on your mind.
Scrabble playing is a plus.....
