Date women from United States / California / Discovery Bay, 48 year old

Date someone special from Discovery Bay, United States. I am new to this.... But having browsed around a bit, the profiles I like the best were the ones that made me laugh!
Of course, who wouldn't like to fall madly in love? But how can I predict from a picture or paragraph who that would be?
At this point, I am looking to have some fun and see where things go...
So, a little about me.... Did I mention that I love animals? I have 2 dogs (border collie and a shih tzu/pug X).... I also have horses and I love to trail ride or compete (at a novice level) at various horse sports... Have 2 sons, one in college in NY and one just graduated from college - both on their own and truly fantastic people! Love to travel...
I have a lot of interests and I love to stay active... I REALLY love to try new things! But there are definitely some things I already know are not for me, like running! I'll take swimming or riding over running!
Lots of things I've tried that I would like to do more of, like golf.... But when it comes to relationships... I am very physical - love to touch/hug/cuddle....
This is not turning out to be a very humorous profile, is it? I do love to laugh! I am warm and generous and would like the same back...
What about you? Are you active, smart, maybe a little bit funny? Do you like to travel? Maybe a little romantic? Not addicted to the tv? Not intimidated by women who are smart, active and maybe a touch competetive?
Perhaps to weed out any obvous mis-matches, I should say that I am pretty open to most viewpoints, but if you are not then I should warn you that I am fairly liberal and not religious....
