Date men and women from United States / Arizona / Bonita, 45 year old

Date men and women from Bonita, United States. I've been told that I sound too "serious" in my profile. I have no idea what that means but just in case, I've purchased a book of jokes and the complete set of "the 3 stooges" on dvd. (Actually I prefer Abbott and Costello to the 3 stooges but you get the idea). Really, how serious can I be ? I've also been told many times now that I'm much more attractive than my pictures. Take that for what its worth I guess...
So, if you haven't given up on me yet:
I'm not an extreme person, but I did get scuba certified and i think doing so says something about who I am. I did it with a girlfriend, in part because I love to travel and it would be a great thing to be able to do in a lot of locations. I also did it because the idea has always terrified me. But I didn't want to be scared of it and miss out on some wonderful things. I made it through the classes, pool dives and 5 ocean dives. There were a few times I didn't think I could do it and it took everything I had to not make a run for it. There was also the mask and snorkel in the shower incident but that story takes a lot more explanation than you want to read here. So, I did it, and while I don't think cold water diving is my thing, I'm not terrified anymore and I look forward to a warm-water dive vacation. I also took an Aerial Silks class - one of those Cirque du Soleil things - twisting and hanging in these silk curtains - pretty cool to try for a while, but I don't think I'll be running away to join the circus anytime soon.
I love to travel - did Costa Rica about 2 years ago (absolutely loved it) and hit NYC with my son last fall (we also hit a home Steelers game in Pittsburgh (awesome) - and want to plan a trip to Greece and/or Italy for next fall. I like to go anywhere that includes beautiful sights, a lot of things to do, and really good food. I never mind a lot of walking, since I also like to get lots of exercise !
I'm into sports, epecially football. My 17 year old and I spend a lot of Sundays watching his fantasy players and the Steelers - his favorite team.
I started out in Finance, but went into teaching about 9 years ago, to somehow give back, since I've been pretty lucky in life. It wasn't my thing - although the kids were great - a lot of funny stories in those years. I've been back in Finance for a little over a year now - love my job and the company I work for. I'm really happy I switched back.
My deep, dark secret is that I'm a lousy cook. However, I think I'm trainable if the training involves music and wine. Of course with the right teacher and enough wine, I figure, who really cares how dinner comes out !
Ok, if you still haven't given up on me, then maybe you are who I'm looking for. I am looking for someone who likes to share ideas, laughter, activity and travel. I want to get out and do things, things I've always enjoyed and things that I've never tried. Of course, sometimes sharing a glass of wine and a relaxing evening at home is the perfect thing too.
