Date men from United States / California / Redwood City, 56 year old

Date someone special from Redwood City, United States. I consider myself a caring, responsible, supportive and affectionate man. I am passionate about many things including my family and volunteer activities. I enjoy live music (Mountain Winery), hiking, and farmers markets and get away trips to the beach and mountains. I enjoy trying new music and artists and going to live sporting events (Sharks, Warriors, Giants, A’s). I am looking for a supportive and affectionate partner who shares some of the same interests. Ideally, she is looking for a great friendship leading to a LTR and believes that a relationship requires communication, support and encouragement. She should enjoy trying different restaurants and foods as well as nice day/weekend trips in the bay area as well places such as Carmel, Mendocino, San Diego or Las Vegas. And finally, she should enjoy dogs and the love that they can bring.

Meet single man from Redwood City, United States. I’m a reasonably optimistic and frequently lucky person who tries to maintain grace and a sense of humor when facing life's many vicissitudes. I’m in good shape physically, mentally, emotionally, and perhaps even spiritually (though I'm not the least bit religious). I spend a lot of time outdoors, mostly hiking and taking the occasional backpacking trip, but I also enjoying urban activities—and I love travel, from romantic getaways to overseas adventures.
Creativity is an essential part of my life. I’m a guitarist and composer and besides making records I've recently begun composing music for television—though I don't live the typical "musician" lifestyle, and rarely perform live. I’m also a published author of several books, and I make a good living as an editor and journalist at a major music magazine (my corporate job). Painting, photography, and filmmaking also interest me.
Random facts: I appreciate fine wine and good food; I’m a sucker for kids and animals though I have neither; I have broad musical tastes; I watch little television other than The Daily Show and Turner Classic Movies, but I enjoy films; I detest hypocrisy, greed, and meanness; I have a fully functioning funny bone; I give a great massage; I like hot springs and fireplaces; I’m a talented kisser; I’m told I have a “cute butt.”
I’d love to meet a charming and compassionate woman who is wise enough to keep me on my toes, sincere enough to create mutual trust, passionate enough to keep the home fire burning, independent yet desirous of intimacy, and able to articulate her thoughts and feelings well.
If that sounds like you, you know what to do! :-)
P.S. My photos are all relatively recent and my "stats" are for real, so please, no snow jobs! :-)

I am gentleman, witty, very straight forward, intelligent and handsome (at least my women friends tell me so) and prefer to give rather than receive. I am as comfortable in the executive board room as I am in a pizza parlor.
I have two wonderful chlidren. A son who is heading to Fresno State as a junior to study Kinesiology/Exercise Science - looking to head to Physical Therapy School. Also a daughter (we adopted at birth) in high school, horse back rider and vegitarian - loves animals - she lives with her mother.
I am looking for a women to be my best friend. Someone who I can share my deepest secrets with and she shares with me. A woman who is playful, caring, straight forward and will laugh at my jokes. A woman who enjoys casual converstion over a cappuccino (or the morning beverage of her choice) as well being intimate as we sip our favorite wine. She MUST enjoy receiving massages. She likes the outdoors, likes to exercise and travel.
When we are not working where would I want to be? Perhaps one of these scenarios with the special one described above:
1) Tropical Island, maybe on St. John's Island, like the one around the cove from the Hyatt with the crystal blue water and white power sand. A good book available and a cold beverage - be ready for that massage.
2) Lake Tahoe Cabin, snowy night, warm fire holding her tight with a nice glass of Cabernet - probably my favorite
3) Outdoor Paris cafe just down the Champs-Elysees chatting about where we'll eat dinner and people watching
So there's a little background on me. If you think we might be a Match, send me a note. We can meet for a casual coffee or glass of wine and see if there's chemistry. and take it from there.
