Date someone special from California, United States. Putting honesty first, let me say that I do not skydive, work out, do Yoga, aspire to meet the Dali Lama, meditate or enjoy large social gatherings. I do love the outdoors (and photographing it), modest travels, cultural events, reading, occasional golf, walks on the beach, dining out, politics, quiet conversation and visiting with my daughter and her family, who live nearby. I am recently widowed after 48 years of marriage to the same woman so this is all new to me. I intend to be very cautious and hope to find a companion who, like me, makes no promises that she cannot fulfill.
