Date men and women from United States / California / South Lake Tahoe, 60 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I am a 60 year old retired public schoolteacher. I am excited about entering this new phase of my life...I am active, but not a fitness maniac. I live in one of the prettiest places on Earth. I'm a hiker and a skier. Golf is a lifelong passion. I love the movies. A good movie validates my world in one way or another and often teaches us important lessons.
I own my home outright, and am in all other ways financially solvent/responsible. I am looking to build a life partnership with a special person. I am a politically/socially liberal person and I would prefer that my match be the same.
I'm one of those folk who are drawn to the "givers" of this world...those who routinely/thoughtlessly do small things (and even big things) to give comfort/joy to people and critters. Kindness, courtesy, and generosity of spirit are important qualities to me.
Looking for a sympatico woman to share traveling adventures and life's everyday, simple pleasures. I love opportunities to meet and greet my neighbors (and strangers)...yard sales, farmers markets, community fundraisers/events...I like people and relish my friends and neighbors. I bring a boyish enthusiasm to my encounters with folks. I laugh easily and often.
Can't wait to meet you!

Meet people from California, United States. Looking back, fun things I enjoy involve physical activity. Hiking/backpacking, canoe/kayaking, road/mountain biking and sailing/cruising.
Sailing has my focus for now. My definition of sailing is cruising, not racing. My longest cruise left San Francisco in 2008 to Mexico returning late 2009. Lately trips have been confined to the Bay area and Monterey. My goal for cruising is the Pacific circle: SF, Mexico, Panama, Ecuador, South Pacific including New Zealand, Hawaii, Alaska and back to SF. It's a long trip but worth all the adventure, good and bad.
Music is also in my life. I have been a trumpet player since fourth grade. Worked on a trumpet performance degree (classical) and played with numerous army bands for 38 years. (3yr active 35 National Guard) They retire you at 60. Now I play for food and beer.
I like to laugh at any humor thrown my way. My occupation was in law enforcement and humor was one way to get through difficult situations. Nurses understand. They also see some undesirable aspects of life and escape by humor, (some sic) I like all kinds of humor as long as it isn't hurtful.
Romance and romantic places are very real, completely unexplainable. My favorite anchorage is Stillwater Cove south of Monterey. I will post a picture. When you see it, think of calm, companionship and wine...
I’m looking for a special lady who has similar areas of interest with her own interests to add....

Date someone special from California, United States. I am looking for a simpatico woman to spend time with and travel with, both domestically and internationally. I'm retired in the last six months, and my time is free. Let's hit the road and have some fun!
