Date men from United States / California / Broderick, 53 year old

Date a soulmate from United States. I am a straight-forward kinda guy. I enjoy all the basics including trips, the beach, boating, amusement parks and rides, dining out, barbecues, watching movies, spending time with kids, family and friends. I'm pretty laid back, likable, easy to get along with and go with the flow. I would also describe myself as kind, considerate and passionate about life. I have a good sense of humor and like to have fun. My hobbies are reading, auto repairs (not always successfully any more), walking, biking, all aquatics, travel and model railroading(electric trains). And I'd like to maybe take dancing lessons with a partner because I've never been really good at it.
If I sent you a wink or an icebreaker, please do not be insulted or think I am lazy. I would rather not pen a letter to someone who may not be interested and won't reply. I use a wink to see if there might be mutual interest.
Please write me if you have any additional questions for me. I would love to hear from you and would really appreciate your thoughts.
