Meet men and women from Mill Valley, United States. I'm not going to bore you by telling you how wonderful I am by attaching to my name a bunch of flattering adjectives. I have baggage/skeletons, don't we all? I will say that I am a very easygoing guy, and not too ambitous. So, I'll start with some "bad" stuff – I am impulsive and restless at times, I'm afraid of mice, I swear too often, I watch too much TV, I've been quitting smoking for years, I am supremely annoyed by bicyclists who poach my car's road (I want to clip them at times, but have avoided doing so), I stay up way too late way too often. I have little patience for flakes and phonies – those who smile while being angry, or laugh a few seconds too late. Enough of that...
I enjoy cooking, owned a restaurant in a previous lifetime. I am a former tennis fanatic, sidelined 3 years ago by a knee injury.I've been an avid reader all my life, read all the classics many years ago, and now enjoy mysteries and thrillers, and a little historical fiction. I love traveling, been to 4 continents, about 14 countries. Italy, Brasil, British Isles, and Australia are my favorites, but I enjoyed all the other places as well. I am apolitical, and I avoid the news as much as I can. I am a good listener.How about you? What annoys you? And what gives you goosebumps?
You are curious about the world around you, and new places both close and far away. You can take a joke and are not easily offended. You believe that light sarcasm is a spice of life, and have highly developed sense of humor. You can spell, you're not addicted to texting, and are generally happy. You enjoy music, which does not include rap or hip-hop. (I play guitar and piano adequately.) You would not be offended if I am an avid (rabid) NY Yankees fan, because I am. Watching a game as I type these words...
I don’t think it matters what we do on a first date/meeting, and I since I enjoy simplicity, a coffee/tea and walk would be just fine.

Date single man from Mill Valley, United States. I was born at an early age of mixed parents ... man and woman. Since then, my life has been a seemingly unending series of sunrises and sunsets.
Descending from a grandfather who was a madcap inventor, built an airplane with the Wright Brothers, launched rockets with Robert Goddard and at the end of WWII, was sent to Germany where he vetted the surrendered V2 rocket scientists and brought back Werner von Braun (Project Paperclip) . . . as well as a father who was a Big10 & NCAA tennis champion, I am a well educated, experienced, lovable and capable one-man-band . . . who can still play in a full symphony orchestra . . . no I can't get you a deal on symphony tickets, as some have asked . . . that was a metaphor.
My kids are grown, one a professional fashion photographer and the other a mother, shop keeper, restaurant owner and events producer living in Mill Valley with her husband and their three children.
I am semi-retired from the film production and computer graphics business and still spend a lot of my time in front of a computer screen or behind a camera . . . as well as working on my cruising sailboat . . . a hole in the water into which I dump money . . . another metaphor.
I currently share my home-alone time with a loveable wire-haired German pointer that I rescued five years before she rescued me. But there is plenty of room and time for more love in our lives. We think we have a lot to offer in return.

Date a man from Mill Valley, United States. I am non-judgemental, live and let live, and endlessly curious and inquisitive about everything I do. I have spent most my life in coastal California and Hawaii, but also traveled and worked internationally in a lot of beautiful places that have become a part of me as well. I take health and a healthy lifestyle seriously, and always have, it's just more fun to be athletic and energetic. My work is infinitely challenging, and rewarding, and I feel that I get to make a difference.
I appreciate a wide variety of people, and have no pre-set expectation for a date or partner, as I know everyone has something special about them to be discovered and to delight in.

Meet men and women from Mill Valley, United States. I am trying to be...and looking for... someone who is very down to earth.

Date people from United States. This question brings to mind, "What did you do on your summer vacation?"
I was born into a family that instilled in me the virtues I seek in the friends I choose; truthfulness, sincerity, empathy and a sense of honor. These have served me well and I tend to look for them in my partner. Not a difficult search. These virtues, a sense of humor and a positive outlook will be good starters in any match with me.
I have been very fortunate in my business career which took me through the world of high-tech and then the growth of and sale of my firm. This has given me an opportunity to give back through my work in a non-profit; our mission is to properly feed those who cannot leave their home due to cancer or other sicknesses which keep them home bound.
I remain very close to the high-tech/internet community...GivingSphere was designed, developed and implemented as a philanthropic start-up that recently launched around the globe. We're very excited about the possibilities.
Music and books are all around me...where were those ubiquitous iPods when we were growing up? I play the guitar (rock, folk, some jazz, my own material) and sing. (Do you?) Recently, I decided to take the plunge; buy a piano and learn to play...I always heard "it's easy if you know how to play the guitar." Hmmm. "Piano for Dummies" is my Bible.
I'm a sports enthusiast. I've played most of the majors in high school and college; basketball, baseball, tennis. Racquetball (when it was the rage), lot's of running and biking and I found another four-letter sport's word, GOLF. If you like it and want to learn, I'm a patient instructor.
I love house-animals (dogs and cats) although I don't have any at the present time. Getting a dog is in the near future...I saw a Labrador puppy the other day...uh-oh!
And that was my summer vacation...if you like what you read, let me know...

Meet single man from United States. looking for a soul mate for travel, fun and enjoying the next 20 years. i have raised my kids and now want to explore the world and begin to give back. i have a job that allows me to be away from the office and yet provides a comfortable living

Date people from California, United States. Time keeps moving into the future. That is why I am here.
I practiced law, had a son, got divorced from a wonderful woman I had met at Stanford, got married again, stayed married for almost 20 years, she died, I sold a legal publishing company I had founded and ran for 15 years, went sailing for 8 years, did tri-athletic stuff in Boulder for a year, then lived in HI until I got someone pregnant and had to be close to the baby (whose mom worked and works at UCSF) who is now almost 17.
I am in great shape. I like to give and receive a lot of affection. I like to touch a lot. I miss living in the country and sometimes I really miss living in Hawaii. As soon as my daughter is launched next year I will move I assume because it is expensive to live here and I am still (!) working.
85% of my time i spent on one publishing idea or another (which I can do anywhere) while15% is spent on criminal law to pay the bills (which is something I have to be in CA to do). I actually enjoy helping guys in trouble, usually bad decisions and alcohol. Bad people at their best (with legal counsel). Meanwhile I try to create to publish stuff.
How about you? Where do you want to live?
Do you think you have good values? Take some joy in living every day? Children and grandchildren are a plus in any life. Family and friends are important. [Cliches are this are of little help.] Physical attractiveness helps. I have always been thin so I do not discriminate about weight (code: over-weight is not a problem per se) the way some do. Feminine and thoughtful and kind are good. Hell, I am just looking for a partner to love and with whom to share everything that is ahead, especially travel and fun,
CV-wise, I studied under Saul Bellow and Hannah Arendt at the University of Chicago in the graduate Social Thought Committee, was a reporter at The Wall Street Journal, attended Stanford Law School, has taught and written on subjects ranging from exempt offerings of securities to the vagaries of crime and punishment,m served as a two-term ABA chair of its largest professional responsibility committee, and secured transaction advisor to the Ministry of Economy for the Republic of Latvia.

Meet a man from Mill Valley, United States. Caution; Work in progress on this profile and the life on which it is based.
I’m a 6’4” whitewater river guide, an avid student of cultures foreign and domestic, my own included, a metalsmith, gardener, machinist, fisherman and/or handyman depending on the season and mood. I'm happiest in alien lands on some remote river scouting a route I've never seen before. Guess that makes me comfortable with novelty, indeed I seem to thrive on it. On the other hand, I take pride in doing things more familiar with all the artistry I can muster.
I’m financially comfortable living alone in my own home in the SF Bay area, at least during the winter. I’ve been single for over 20 years after divorce ended a 15 year marriage which left me with a wonderful daughter.
Since retiring from my first career (32 years as a middle school science teacher in San Francisco) in 2001, I’ve been a whitewater guide on the American River, a seasonal job that keeps me in the Sierra foothills from April or May to September living in a camper shell near the river. Working there with young people helps keep me au courant, optimistic and relatively fit. September through October is a professional guide’s playtime so I usually do at least two multi-day trips on rivers in Oregon, Idaho or Alaska. It should be obvious that I love the outdoors, whether on a river, camping in mountains or deserts, fishing or just cruising over to the beach to watch storm surf. I spend the off season in or near Marin county, fishing, traveling internationally (usually both at the same time), reclaiming my garden from its annual summer of neglect, and playing with my two grandsons.
A native of the SF Bay Area, I love the excitement of living near a major world class city with its diverse arts and culture (though I confess I rarely actually go into the City) yet far enough away to enjoy the quiet of the small community I call home. I’m a pretty good cook (and dishwasher), both at “home” or in camp, especially “ethnic” foods (Turkish, Thai, Chinese and Mexican) and even know how to fold fitted sheets (I don’t actually fold mine, but I know how!). I’m also a bluegrass freak with a taste for the classics and grand opera. Someday I might get good enough on my banjo to pick more than 3 old fiddle tunes (marginally more socially acceptable than picking one’s nose). Gotta have dreams, no?
I’d really like to find a lady who can enjoy some of the same things I do, who can join my somewhat peripatetic lifestyle and, most important, has a well developed sense of humor (she’ll need it!). Literacy, interests of her own (that we might or might not share), financial independence and a willingness to travel to less than 5 star locales would be plusses.
Life is good, consider sharing it with me.
I'm in the transition from the Bay Area to the foothills where I'm "Just Another Friendly River Guide". Use the initial letters of that phrase at the Time-Warner network to reach me if you like. Ooo, a puzzle! I love puzzles.
