Date women from United States / California / Menlo Park, 62 year old

Date a woman from United States. Friends would describe me as light-hearted, reliable, and genuine. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, and I am passionate about my work. I'm grateful for good health, a rewarding job, good friends, and most of all for a wonderful family. I am hoping to meet someone who is accomplished yet humble, fun-loving, honest, and dependable.

Meet someone special from United States. How to explain who I am in such a short form?
I have read a few profiles, and I realize there are many kinds: short 4 sentences, a few pages worth of details, cute ones, funny ones, and some that say enough to make me read it again. In any case, I tend to look at the photos, in search for that look in the eyes that, well, makes me want to see we are interesting to each other.
I have been many things in my life, and now I am painting and writing again. I have always considered myself an artist, even when I haven't been able to make art, so I am happy to have the opportunity to be able to support my self at this juncture in my life.
I love music, it plays all the time, and I dance to it whenever the beat gets to me. Live music is so wonderful. I love the sea and the mountains, and love that my drive between them is so short in this beautiful place. Yes, I recently chose to move here, and am enamored with the area. A great date would be to have someone show me around.
Most of all, I love life and people. I have learned that I can not judge a book by its cover, but I am attracted by the spark of curiosity in a person's eyes. That being said, it is hard to see that in a photo, but sometimes....I think I see it.
And, I would go into outer space even if I knew I could not come back, but settle right now for riding my bike.
I would love to meet someone who could be my best friend, lover and partner, if all goes well. We have to start somewhere,
and I hope you want to have a cup of coffee with me, as we just might see that spark in each others eyes.
Have a great day, week, month, year, and life.
