Date men and women from United States / Arkansas / Saratoga, 59 year old

Date people from United States. I am someone who likes to be around positive people who keep me smiling! I have a sarcastic sense of humor that people seem to enjoy..At least that is what they tell me! I don't have any serious baggage except what I use to travel with :) I have all the qualities that women typically say they want..sense of humor, intelect, romantic,good conversationalist, confident,worldly and semi-NORMAL, honesty, respect and most of all the "T" word...TRUST
I like to home entertain, Play drums, keep the yard nice, take day trips to Napa, Capitola, Carmel,SF and travel to Europe or Beach places. I try to go to Hawaii every other year in the winter....I have been to a few International destinations besides Europe including Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, Mexico, Canada, several Carribean islands and one day in Venezuela. Does one day count? :) I also take a classic car to car shows two or three times a year for the social benefits and I sometimes actually win! When I am a homebody, I am a good one. Will cook/clean and get a movie rolling!
I am open minded, a good conversationalist and don't get too wrapped up in the politics of the day! I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week, but I am not a gym rat. I can be easily convinced to go to lunch instead :) I also want to take up Golf sometime soon!
What am I looking for? A travel partner, a friend for life , someone that does not need to be on the go all the time. Someone youthful in mind, spirit and body. Someone playful, articulate, bubbly and not always serious! A beautiful sincere smile and a gift for gab is a major plus. Must be a giving compassionate spirit.

Meet a soulmate from United States. What to say to "grab people's attention"? Marketing consultants say that everyone should have an elevator speech - a 1-2 minute description of what value you can bring to a potential business relationship, and this feels like the same thing, just on a personal basis. So here goes: I am curious about a million things including art, cooking, travel, hockey, physics, law and people. I think everyone has an interesting life story to tell and I enjoy meeting new people and learning about their life stories.
I have practiced law for over 30 years and raised two adult children. My speciality is litigation and trial practice, mostly in cases relating to intellectual property.
I am interested in meeting a woman who shares my interests in life - this journey is hard enough without being alone. I am interested in meeting someone who wants to engage the world by traveling, exploring new ideas and looking forward, not backward.

Date a soulmate from United States. I am passionate about family, faith, music, the arts, being healthy, enjoying the outdoors, hiking, camping, white water rafting, sports, snorkeling, teaching and mentoring youth, and adventures in general! :)
The most important quality I am looking for in another person is honesty and someone looking for a long-term monogamous relationship.
Things I am thankful for:
• I am most thankful for my family. I highly value my son, his wife, and my daughter and the love and family bonds we share.
• I am extremely thankful that I am a Christian and have confidence, joy, and peace that comes from knowing Him.

I have a real excitement about life and am exceedingly thankful for every moment! I sing in Peninsula Women's Chorus. I serve on the Board of Music for Minors, an organization that brings music to children in schools. I teach private piano lessons and immensely enjoy mentoring all of my students! Every other summer I direct a summer day camp for Girl Scouts in our area for one week. Lots of fun! :)
In my leisure time I thoroughly enjoy being out in nature: jogging, hiking, kayaking, walking along the ocean, etc. Secondly, time spent with family and friends is invaluable. I treasure the moments spent with people I cherish. I love making things special for people I highly value. Also, I enjoy teaching and mentoring youth, encouraging them to stretch and have confidence to try new adventures.
