Date men from United States / California / Fairfax, 50 year old

Date someone special from Fairfax, United States. Howdy. Thanks for taking a peek at my profile. Please read in entirety before responding. I have taken a hiatus from dating/relationships for last couple of years. Now that I have caught up and have things back in order, I wish to return to dating, hopefully to find a friend, maybe more, depending on how things go.
A little bit about me. 6 ft tall, fit, in shape. A combination of good genes and a fair amount of physical activity over the years has allowed me to retain some youthfulness, and I'm usually mistaken for younger than my years. I assume I'm reasonably attractive, or at least not too entirely scary, as women and children don't scream when I pass them on the street, nor am I pelted with rocks while out in public. I'm a jeans and T-shirt kinda guy. GQ hasn't exactly been banging down my door to pose for their cover. But, I do clean up ok though. and own a suit.
I'm carrying around with me minimal baggage. I do not have any kids (technically), at least that I'm legally responsible for. I do have a Stepson (ex wife's son). When I met my ex, he was just a baby. He is now 16 and looks me in the eye. Yikes!! Even though I have been divorced a looong time, him and I have always had a tight relationship and he considers me his "dad", and is here frequently. I get along with my ex, don't have any child support or alimony payments, nor crazy exes stalking me. I live in the small town of Fairfax in my old house that dangles precariously off the side of a steep hill under a canopy of 25 redwood trees. I like it here, err, uhh, well, except for the mortgage payment. Yikes!! (again). I live alone with my Monsters. I'm an animal lover and have several, the majority either being rescues or strays that found me.
Unlike most profiles, I don't have a long list of what I have to have, or have to not have. I would like to find someone I'm physically attracted to , and who I have intelligent conversation with, go out out on a date, and see what happens from there. She would have to like animals and not be allergic. And she would have to be BOTH 420 and 437737 friendly.
If any of this sounds even half interesting, drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you.
