Date women from United States / California / Soquel, 63 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Ready for fun . . . seeking balance in my life and that includes a partner, someone to share love, joy and good times with.
I am most interested in someone who is "self-contained," someone who is comfortable with himself, but also has friends he likes to spend time with, maybe a hobby or two; ideally he would cook and chop wood, but not necessarily simultaneously :) He will have an awesome intellect and sense of humor and would have to be somewhat unique to appreciate my point-of-view.
I would love to meet someone who is interested in ideas . . . open to life and having fun. Someone who values partnership . . .
I am on the philosophical Bohemian side. I like to discuss ideas and am interested in culture, art, architecture, history, psychology, sociology, archeology, anthropology (big on the ologies, I guess). I am constantly trying to understand "why," and getting to root causes of things, if that can be determined. I am kind of a purist in the sense that I like to uncover things and see what is at the source, as much as possible.
I am curious about people and their motives and behaviors.
I love discovering the world by exploring neighborhoods.
The person I am attracted to does not have to share all of these inclinations, of course, but has to be able to acknowledge and appreciate that these things are important to me.
Edit: I really would like a partner to explore San Francisco, Carmel, Big Sur, etc. - I also want to dine out in many Santa Cruz restaurants on a regular basis - It's no fun doing that kind of stuff alone.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I consider myself a very healthy, fortunate and young thinking woman. Although I have had my share of misfortune, overall I am a very lucky human being. I have traveled many places, seen the most amazing things, have witnessed life changing human events and continue to be excited about life. The more open I remain, the more that comes my way.
I am the mother of two grown children, whom I adore. Now I am working in the non profit sector; this seems to fill any holes that
have been fired my way!!
I would like to meet someone who loves to enjoy life in all its permutations, who likes a lively debate and at the same time doesn't take himself too seriously. Someone who likes people, doesn't have prejudices and is open to suggestions. i.e. if lost, will listen!!
Want someone to share the great outdoors with me, eat lunch on a rock, out for fine dinner later.
I still have much to learn. How about you?
