Date women from United States / Alabama / McCalla, 72 year old

Date a woman from United States. IAbout me: retired elementary music teacher, B. Music Manhattan School of Music, M. Ed. NLSU, Mensa, Triple Nine. Have lived in MS, AL, LA, GA, NY, OK, PA.
IWIDOWHOOD STINKS! I AM LOOKING FOR A FRIEND TO HANG OUT WITH ! AFTER THAT, WHO KNOWS? LIFE IS INTERESTING AND FUN, AND IT WOULD BE MUCH MORE FUN WITH SOMEONE TO SHARE IT WITH. :-)
Things I like: music of almost every kind, but I go on overload with music easily, especiallly if it is too loud. I like live symphonic music best. I like making music and play several diferent instruments with varying degrees of proficiency, but I dont spend a lot of time doing that these days. I like good food, dining out, watching TV, learning new things, reading a great deal, short road trips, watching our local birds (I am not a "birdwatcher"), being with family (I have only a brother here), and spending time with friends. However, I also need a fair amount of solitude. Pets--I don't have any currently, but I like them. I am a regular gym goer. I attend a MS Lutheran church.
I am only on Match for this month, July. I am doing this because I am personally lonely. I need someone I can hug, touch, love.
Who I am looking for: Well, you needn't be handsome, skinny, athletic, or have multiple university degrees. Or you could. I hope you are five ten or taller, observant, able to express yourself in words, kind, loving, and open to spiritual matters and new experiences. Other than that---surprise me!
