Date men from United States / California / Greenbrae, 68 year old

Date a soulmate from Greenbrae, United States. I am an attorney practicing in San Francisco and residing in Greenbrae. I represent policyholders in coverage disputes with their insurers. I was raised in Orlando and schooled in Tallahassee (FSU) with degrees in History and Law. I emigrated from Florida right after law school and have since lived in San Francisco and south Marin. I have two brothers, a younger one who followed me out here and lives in San Rafael and an elder who remained in Florida.
My goal a match. My reason for wanting that is probably the same as yours: With a little help from our friends an unshared life can be great fun once you’ve mastered the art, and yet is not to be compared to life and memories shared with one who is dear to you. It’s better with a girl. A lot better.
Off the job my passions are, in no order: 1) History - Western Civ and US, all periods. Much of my reading is related to history; 2) Travel in Europe - most of my vacations have been spent in Europe or NYC. I am open to traveling in other areas but am drawn to great cities; 3) Art and the history thereof - particularly painting, one of the reasons for my interest in European travel; 4) Movies – a buff; all types except action films and animation; 5) Shakespeare – I’m trying to set up a Shakespeare reading club. If I succeed it will by my third; 6) Food and drink – convicted hedonist; 7) Politics and foreign affairs - if you don’t enjoy politics these days then you just have no appreciation for farce. My politics are center-left, and I’m about as moderate as that sounds except that I regard far-righties as hicks and ignoramuses. 8) Music – intense lover of almost all types, including the entire American songbook, but not post-eighties pop or anything resembling rap; 9) Humor – all forms, not just Republicans, though we do owe them so much in this area; the genius of Stewart, Colbert, and Maher. 9) Above all the conversation of friends. Love to meet yours.
I seem to have an affinity with NYC, as I am a regular reader of NYT, New Yorker magazine and the New York Review of Books. As to books, current reading includes Heisenberg’s War, Muhammad and the Believers, Scorpions (re FDR's Supreme Court), and Arguably, a collection of essays by Christopher Hitchens.
I’m supposed to describe the girl I’m looking for - her qualities - but I’m not sure I can. Obviously we must share values and interests, the more the better, which is why I have laid mine out at such length. But as to personal traits I just don’t know. If it’s right we’ll know. The process is still a mystery, Match.com's algorithms notwithstanding. - mam
