Date men and women from United States / California / Winters, 45 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I pride my self in being a great dad for my 12 year old daughter.
I love my job and it gives me flexibilty to be a single dad.
Love humor and a happy go lucky attitude. I really love salt water and all water sports.
I have a knack for fixing anything (so have something broken), and good with the heart too.
I live in a small town that is easy to come home to in a crazy world.
My main goal is to see my daughter off to college and become a vibrant woman.
Looking for someone that understands kids, is playful and easy going.
She must like quirky humor, sand and water....mixed with a little rum of course.
Would rather take a side road than sit in traffic.
I don't use an alarm clock as I let the sun wake me up.
Much more to come as I get the hang of this....or ask me a question.
Emotional intelligence is getting better all the time, I am a great listener and will cry in a sad movie.
I am looking for someone to enjoy some bright times, become great friends and look across the room to feel lucky to have that person in my life. We all have our baggage...some are carry-on while others are curb-check. But we do need our stuff when we get there - wow I just did a luggage to life metaphor. Screw it, let's just get new stuff when we arrive!
I am a simple yet developed being seeking everyday gratitude for everything around me. I am heathy, well employed, own a modest house, drive a sexy old Volvo wagon. When it is hot, I love to hose off in the yard. I like to vacuum and give massages. I can change into a bathing suit/wetsuit at the beach parking lot without getting arrested.
Don't be alarmed if I ask you to meet...I like face to face. I work in North Sacramento so a lunch meet would be fun.
I was raised in New York and lived in San Francisco for years prior to moving to the Valley.
Best regards in your search.
