Date men and women from United States / California / Ojai, 71 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. I am relatively quiet and bookish.
In a relationship I am looking for a friend first.
My friends describe me (suprisingly) as gregarious.
I am enchanted with nature.
I love to find out about the whole universe.
I am passionate about books and film, can read for days on end.
My social life is fairly quiet.
I volunteer two days a week at "Meals on Wheels"
I am grateful for good health and the town that I live in (Ojai). originally from New York where I was a tour guide but burned out on the city and am now happy for a civil way of life.
I can't say what kind of person that I eant to attract, i don't have any specific list of character traits or physical traits, we have to meet and find out.
In the past I have been a Yoga teacher, a bodybuilder, an Aikido student a a medium distance runner but I have slacked off as of late as I have become interested in the current political scene, write letters to the newspapers and
hope to finish essays and articles on the state of
politics and the nation.
What makes me smile.....awakening to a beautiful sunny morning. I hope (at a somewhat advanced age to remake my life as a social and political gadfly.
