Date women from United States / California / Richmond, 68 year old

Date someone special from Richmond, United States. SOPHISTICATED & DOWN HOME energetic, tall, attractive 60's (looks 50's) woman, east coast Jewish origins, seeks soulmate. Interesting companions welcome along the way. I love music (classical, world, folk, blues-avid concert goer), nature, reading (New Yorker, fiction-Cutting for Stone, Girl with Dragon Tattoo series, Donna Leon's mysteries), foreign films. I enjoy travel. A sandwich on the trail in good company can taste better than putting on any dogs in a four star spot. My careers have been in mental health/education and the arts/landscaping. I'm active in community projects, have served as a city commissioner and volunteer with several educational/nature organizations. I'm on the edge of retirement from my business with time and space in my life for someone new. I'm a creative person, a devoted friend, compassionate, quite funny and engaging. I highly value my friends and family.
I believe two people don't need to have the same qualities to make a good match and complement each other. I like straightforward no game sorts of men who've been around the block and know their own shortcomings well, possess kindness and patience. Share some of my interests. Timing is all. No smokers or heavy substance users please.
