Date men from United States / California / San Anselmo, 44 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I moved from Colorado (Vail) 3 yrs ago and still feel like I am in my N. CA honeymoon stage. If I had a regret it would be that I should have moved out here sooner.
There is nothing I enjoy more than a good laugh. Think that many of the worlds problems could be solved with a good laugh, a smile and some reggae. I am also really good at laughing at myself and try to do it with regularity!
I am a huge fan of the outdoors, whether it be riding, surfing, sailing, skiing or climbing but dont see myself as extreme in any of them. In fact I often look as forward to apres skiing (with the right group) as I do skiing.
I have two young daughters that are of course a big part of my life. They keep me on my toes and do a great job at keeping me in check.
I have been fortunate to have travelled a fair amount for work, pleasure as well as had some overseas living stints. So travel is in the blood and at some point I want to live big chunks of the year outside of the US.
So the right gal for me has to be adventurous, comfortable in her skin yet not full of herself, love to travel, spontaneous, open to new things and most of all have a great smile and love to use it with frequency.
Things that probably dont work for me: if you watch Fox News, drive an Escalade, had your last two vacations in Vegas and have taken 90% of your profile pics with an iPhone and a mirror. To each there own, just dont want to waste your time :-)
Like many, this is crazy unchartered territory for me (online) but I am keeping an open mind to it and hope to, at the very least make some great connections in the process and to have one of those connections change my life....
Other things that define me: eternal optimist (sometimes to a fault?), I am a kid at heart and any chance I get to act like one is jumped at (fam/friends will vouch for this), trusting, strong personality, risk taker, endorphin junkie, great listener when its real communication and not small talk, insanely sarcastic, great relationship/friendship with my folks who are unfortunately a coast away (NY-VT), did I say my daughters?? that I am an incredibly lucky guy, should drive a Prius but drive a Land Cruiser (purchasing carbon offsets help me sleep:), voted most likely to be a golden retriever by my friends, I have a love hate relationship with technology........
Other things I love: Chocolate, flourless chocolate cake, any other dessert with chocolate in it (seeing the thread?), people watching, I enjoy cooking but not great so looking for good match/partner in this category, rainy days in bed, my moon roof North Face tent, no cell coverage, playing hooky from work, full moon surfing, comedy clubs (Throckmorton on Tues), favorite worn in t-shirt, Lucky Jeans, a good hugger, smell/taste of bacon, occasional debauchery, swapping showers for salt water, Taylor Swift kitchen dance parties with my daughters, music luv it always and loud, known to start DJing at a party when the tunes are bunk. Have a genre for everytime of day/mood.... Roadtripping is Tom Petty/Counting Crows, Dinner Prep is Franti/Steel Pulse, Eating is Coltrane, Sunday breakfast on patio (w/kids) is Jack Johnson/Ben Harper, late night work is Tommy Guerrero/Alicia Keyes, cocktail hour is Zero 7, grinding up a hill (and out of earshot of children) is Eminem/anything rap-like. And oh yeah think the creator of Pandora should be prayed to daily.
