Date people from Orinda, United States. I am an active man, full of life and who is looking to share his life with a woman who loves the outdoors, travel at home and abroad, and who is open to new experiences.
I look and act like a much younger guy, and although I am not looking for an exercise partner, I would prefer someone who doesn't shy away from outdoor activities.
I am looking for my mate to be spiritual and attractive (to me). She should have a strong connection to family and friends, be confident in herself while having a sense of humor.
I can be intense in my interests, but I love life and can be very laid back when necessary. I am a good guy, honest, direct, open minded, and I always try to keep it simple.
I am loyal to friends and family, am affectionate, romantic, and sensual.
I was born and raised in the West Indies, have lived in England and Canada, and came to the Bay Area in 1970, recruited out of graduate school, and I LOVE it here.
I have been an engineer for Chevron, owned and operated 2 flower shops, had my own landscaping business, and then finally became a high school teacher. I am now retired, but sometimes substitute-teach at my local high schools..
Along the way I played professional cricket in England, was a snow ski instructor (still an avid snow skier), own a small bonsai nursery, and is father to two wonderful kids, boy, 36, and girl 33.
I attend CoDA meetings, and also do volunteer activities in my local area as a means of giving back.
I like movies, weekend car get-aways, small ethnic restaurants, plays, live music venues, cuddling, etc.

Date a woman from Orinda, United States. Loyal and trustworthy, funny, sensitive, responsible, somewhat introverted. Love to laugh and make people laugh. Grateful for health and family, friends and new experiences - and the library, since I read a lot! I'd rather be outside than inside when exercising, but I enjoy ice skating and yoga too. Writing is my creative outlet - also cooking, especially baking (I make an outstanding lemon tart!). Tennis and walking are what I regularly do to keep moving. I like to entertain and also visit family and friends but am not a fan of big parties.
Not sure what I'm looking for - probably someone a lot like me. I might bore some people since I'm somewhat quiet and reserved, but since I'm terminally curious about people and really interested in them some find me fascinating :). I'd like to find someone to travel with, enjoy life with, have a glass of wine with at the end of the day while we cook a meal for the two of us! And someone to share with my family and friends and share his friends too.
