Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm generally happy with life and looking to find someone who might be in a similar situation. Local person, focused on something--work, art, an activity of some sort--who likes to socialize a certain amount and enjoy the good things and people around. I like hiking with friends, in Marin and Sonoma especially, and have a small spunky character/dog who I take to the Berkeley Marina and Pt Isabelle regularly. I just got a tent and plan on taking more weekend trips to the coast, and the mountains, although I'm not great with roughing it. (Got that padded air mattress, too.)
I have dated on and off since my divorce 10 years ago (has it been that long?!). But for the past two years I've taken a break. A new, totally engrossing job assisted with that, but things at work have settled down and seem to be at a more normal level (for the moment, anyway). So I am now, somewhat reluctantly, rewriting this profile.
I live near the Bay Bridge and work most days in San Francisco. It's great to have regular access to SF again, but I'm definitely an East Bay person after many years in the area. This is home now but I've lived in a number of other places and have family scattered about, including in Miami where I spent my early years. Living near the water is important to me, and when I look out at the bay and the ocean, it brings me an enormous amount of peace. Working on creative projects at home, listening to music, drinking coffee, and taking dog walks with friends are the other things that make my life meaningful. I've had a time when I was involved politically but don't really find the time for that now. My thoughts are still engaged with those ideas and concerns, but I'm not spending time on it any more, except when there is something absolutely enthralling that I need to go hear about or support.
What do you like and where do you enjoy being? Do we have things in common?
Meet a woman from California, United States. I am looking for a companion who wants to experience the golden years with a woman who is age comparable... I just turned 60 last month!

As a teacher, I have many opportunities to travel. I am searching for someone interested in traveling to exotic and interesting locations throughout the world.
I grew up in the Boston area, but California has been my home for almost 20 years. I visit Boston regularly, but consider California my home. My current passion is to play golf, and I hope to find someone who also enjoys playing golf on a regular basis, and would be motivated to travel and play.

Meet a woman from California, United States. I am playful, but not funny, though I've been told I have a good sense of humor'
I am however impulsive, and a risk taker, which makes for an exciting life at times, though not necessarily
prudent. I am curious about everything, but feel I know very little in great detail. I love doing anything outdoors, and can do most
sports in some fashion or other.
I am a little hyperactive, if that is possible, which makes reading difficult. I do though read the NYT. NYRB.and other political magazines, and am fairly liberal. I like seeing all the good movies, seeing all the art shows, reading all the prize winning
fiction, love good theatre, and Bel Canto opera especially. My own artistic spirit comes out in photography, though I really like writing as well.I have worked and lived in Asia, and Europe, have two passports, and can communicate somewhat in French and Danish..
I have found the Bay area rich in so many ways, and am extremely contented. I do miss having a good companion to
share activities and ideas with. Life is really good without one, but I know it can be truly great with one.
I look forward to hearing from you , and finding out about you..
Date someone special from United States. I am a positive thinking female looking for an intelligent, honest, respectful male for a long-term relationship. I have worked in the public school system with special education students which has given me great satisfaction. I have recently retired and looking forward to finding meaningful volunteer activities and doing more local and international travel. My passion is for justice for all people, and I will go out of my way if I see an injustice being committed. I am grateful to have a wonderful daughter who has just graduated from college. Fortunately, both of my parents are still alive and living nearby. I am seeking an intelligent, honest and communicative male with a youthful spirit, integrity, a great sense of humor (don't we all want that!), and a kind heart. Above all, our relationship must be based on a deep sense of loyalty, compassion and love!
Meet a soulmate from United States. Friends find me fun to be with, easy to confide in, interesting to talk to. I feel fortunate to be in excellent health, wealthy in friends and family, free this summer to hike, swim, hear music, read, write, help with the Green Party Voter Guide and travel, surely to NY and possibly farther abroad. Also free to get to know you.
I am excited this summer to be embarking upon what I see as my last “career.” After fifteen years in one elementary school teaching struggling students (minorities, model and otherwise) who mostly seemed to find relief in spending forty minutes daily outside their crowded classrooms with other “different” learners, I will begin mid-August at a near-by high school, doing something akin , and I’m sure also quite different. Several of my former students of many years, whose lives have barely crossed mine the past two, will be there to welcome me. I hope to stay to see them graduate. I hope I want to.
My earlier careers careened between more and less structured situations in which I counseled, directed, started, mentored and controlled a variety of people and programs in realms of psychology and social work. ItРІР‚в„ўs been a fairly interesting life, though If I were to live it over I would spend less of it in classrooms getting initials after my name.
As a single parent, I adopted my beautiful. bright, much loved daughter a few years after having moved to the Bay area, having lived a New York sixties life in the seventies. I probably made more than average parenting mistakes, in a more than average challenging situation. We continue to love and challenge one another.
I like to walk in Redwoods, the grand ones up north, the groves in Tilden Park, even the single row that grows behind my bedroom window. I live in a patch of green that can be seen from an airplane flying out of Oakland Airport , the only square of Green to be seen along the Bay besides Albany Hill, where I rented before living in this condo. And how convenient it is to go from here to urban life on either side of the bay. Small doses of New York City, where I spent most of my formative twenties and thirties, home to many friends, near to sibs and their kids, remains accessible, and a staple need for me.
Enough about me. If you love to make love-however we can- can put up with the inflexibility of a schoolteachers vacations, but like to travel- if political and other intellectual discussion interests you- if you want to walk into our winter years with a warm soul mate- sharing friends and families, but true to only one another sexually- I so hope to hear from you.
