Date women from United States / California / Grass Valley, 55 year old

Date a woman from United States. Hmmm?the key here is a life worth living, moderation, sensuality, learning new things, feeling good and sharing. We?re here to find a companion, a lover, a partner in crime, someone to make our lives more interesting and more fun.
Conversation: Essential, and finding someone who understands the give and take of good conversation is very important. I like fine minds, witty and humorous exchanges.
Exercise: Being active is very important to me. I want someone who can explore the beautiful trails in this area with me. Having two young dogs means I?m walking or hiking seven days a week, typically a couple of miles a day. I?m thrilled if you go to the health club or swim or golf or whatever you happen to love, just don?t be a freak about it. I don?t have time for more, being a single person and running a business means something has got to give.
Work: I have the best job in the world, something that I?m passionate about. I love working in my studio and making beautiful things. I tend to be driven but can be persuaded to put my pliers down for some playtime. I hope you have work you love, there?s nothing better than watching a confident man work.
Food: I?m a pretty damn good cook, sure would be nice to have someone to cook for and with. If you?re really a picky eater we probably won?t get along.
Alcohol and Such: I find that good wine and spirits enhance food and fun. I'm not much into drugs, anything that makes you stupid sort of defeats the purpose.
Sex: I love it and need my man to be capable, adventurous, interested and engaged. I don?t mind if you?re bossy, as long as you have some class about it, I'm more tender on the inside than you might think.
Education: I?m educated enough to know how to learn whatever it is I need or find interesting. I?d rather walk the Freedom Trail than watch a documentary, especially if I can stop into Mike?s Pastry and buy a cannoli. I don?t really care how much education you have as long as it works for you. I know the difference between your and you're and to and too and two and there and their and they're, enough said.
Stuff: It's just that, but I have my own house, my own kick ass vehicle and my own teeth. I live simply but well.
Animals: I love animals. I have two dogs that are part of my life. However, I don?t have a problem leaving them for a long weekend or more.
Activities: Hopefully you?ll have things you like to do. If you want to go motorcycle riding with your guy friends for a weekend that?s great. Golf, tennis, whatever, it?s all good as long as it?s not every weekend. I happen to love to shoot and every Monday is league night. However, if we want to get away I can get a substitute.
Family: Yes, they are important. My children live out of state, the rest are close by. We try to get together when possible and aging parents sometimes require some attention.
Misc: I?m frustrated with the body choices in this profile. I am all of six feet, blue eyes, silvery blond hair, long legs and big, ah, assets, with a bit of extra around the middle. There?s always room for improvement but I like me. Wouldn?t you prefer a lioness over a domestic? A Great Pyrenees over a poodle?
If you Austin, TX guys are wondering why I'm surfing there it's because my kids live in Austin and I get there a fair bit. I would love to have some company when I'm out listening to my son make music.
If you've gotten this far I'm impressed...
