Date men from United States / California / Calistoga, 55 year old

Date someone special from Calistoga, United States. Aloha-Here's the part where I'm supposed to rivet you with wit and dazzle you with charm. Well, all I can do is tell you the truth. If it hits home great, if not, hopefully it was entertaining.
Hawaii & Napa are where I reside, bouncing back & forth. Love islands & vineyards.
Never been married, yet have a son eighteen- off to school next year. WOW
I own and operate internet businesses and don't like to be couped up-definitely not a desk jockey, I& have an office I never use. I can work anywhere in the world and would really like to meet someone with flexibility as well. I do work more than I should, so looking for that special gal to whisper in my ear and coax me away to a remote cabin, tent, closet or ???
I love the outdoors. My match also thrives on nature as well as romance, intimacy, open communication and sensuality.
So many lessons I've learned in my first 50 years, the main one being I would rather have no relationship than one that is not an honest and real one. There is so much more to life than a hollow love and there's always a just and worthwhile cause by which to expend one's energy.
I have a ferocious sense of humor and love to laugh and hear laughter. I think that joy makes the world a better place and gets us through pain, grief, sadness, sorrow, tax time, politics, etc...
I fancy myself as a pretty good cook, leaning towards vegan / vegetarian, seafood. Not a dairy or meat eater(34years) and I'm hoping that you are also, at least, a non-meat eater. I am really not a total fanatic, just like good, healthy, natural eats! I am not a saint though and if I'm in N.Y.C. then I'll have a pizza!
Besides, food is also the way to a woman's heart!! Though I'm not just after that...wink (no, your brain, silly!)
I don't have tattoos, yet should probably get one on my forehead that says "VACANCY" for doing this in the first place. I do apprecate a 'natural' woman in ALL respects. Not interested in excessive metal in places other than the ears, maybe a little in a tooth or two, just as long as Moscow cable doesn't come in when you stand next to a TV.
My friends and family tell me that I have a big heart, am overly generous and know how to treat a lady.
I believe, we need need to face the facts & our fears in order to be free. Wouldn't it be great to be side by side and conquer those pesky demons together?
Baggage...everyone has some. Fortunately, I don't need a private skycap. I'll be happy to help you toss your's over a cliff, though. Your baggage, not the skycap.
My match is open minded to finding the truth & being the best we can be. Change is good as long as it moves us forward.
I would be open to having a child with a partner that wanted to. Not out of duty but of love. Yet he or she would be a 'roadie'.
Overly religious, political, fanatical exercise freaks , judgemental, racist, conceited, snobby, ignorant, uncaring, unsympathetic, self absorbed, brainwashed, know-it-alls we ain't!
Peace loving, fun seeking,compassionate, worldly,spiritual, aware, honest, sensitive,affectionate, sexy,adventurous, intelligent, articulate, romantic, open minded, realistic,knowledge searching and cheerful with a true zest for life we is!,Building a solid friendship is most important to me. People say," I hope we can still be friends.", when most of the time that friendship bond was never reached, just the lust. NOPE!
TRUST=FRIENDS FIRST !!! Getting to know the intellectual and spiritual foundation before the flesh. Then late breakfasts, OK?
My true match/friends get 95% of my write up. The other 5% I don't get either.Help me!
Oh, did I mention I like to write?
It's your turn! Tell me about you. This profile has more 'I's than an optometrist's office. I really can be a great listener!I value my anonymity-doctored & retouched photos with black tape over the eyes gladly on request.If you think this was worth reading please give me a wink. Otherwise, all the best on your quest.
