Date men from United States / California / San Luis Obispo, 70 year old

Date single man from United States. Hi, thanks for stopping by ;
I came to NY City in the mid- 60's from Israel to study Physical Therapy ( Col. u. NYU) and had a long satisfying career in Physical Therapy( at least 15 years of which were spent in Pediatrics). I retired in 2008 and moved from Brooklyn NY to the central coast to start my "new career": inventing / developing mobility devices for handicapped babies.
Such projects challange my creativity and energy, but I still enjoy the out-doors (walk, camp, kayak, swim, hike, mountain road bike, do serious photography- and more). Culture and art have been an integral part of my life, I seek and Seriously enjoy music (mostly classical, but not only), theatre, modern dance and art of a wide variety. Frequenting L.A S.F, NYC ( or further away shores) for culture and adventure is a given. I've continued learning to play piano, have taken up sculpting with wood - (an old dream), and regularly experiment with cooking and creative writing. Spending time with good friends discussing endless topics of interest / concerns (such as the state of the world, country, environment, the human condition ) over home - cooked food good wine) is one of the many ways I socialize. I regularly attend cultural events, am involved in promoting liberal/ progressive causes of / for the greater good. And hey, there are always great books, good movies, tai chi and much more, aren't there?!
I think i qualify as a fun guy with a touch of seriousness, attentiveness, a sense of nostalgia, appreciation of the world, and artistic creativity, mixed with awareness and attention paid to the exterior physical world, and the interior, emotional/psychological world . I believe that the world is essentially more complex than we usually seem to think, including human dynamics. I'm respectful, mindful and appreciative of what transpires between people in general, and most significantly, in a relationship involving establishing emotional bonds.

Since you're reading this you must be looking for essentially the same thing that all of us using these screens are after : A meaningful, satisfying companionship, to share one's experiences and inner life with someone special - for the " rest of the journey". That's what i'm looking for as well.
I hope you're relating to some ( all ?!) of what you read so far, finding it of interest; I hope your'e enjoying your life, and are looking for a relationship of openly shared, meaningful communication; I hope you're sensible ( and sensitive), psychologically aware and emotionally available, resourceful, fun, liberal, have essentially resolved your personal baggage, is open minded, enjoy similar aspects of life as I do AND your own, and lastly- I hope you're approaching life with passion, awareness, humor, excitment, seriousness, and with touches of creativity, sensuality and reflectiveness ( in any order you'd like it) -
if my hopes are correct then i'd be delighted to hear from you.
enjoy

Meet someone special from United States. I am very physically active...I have run 53 Marathons and intend to run many more. I also enjoy Square Dancing and Contra Dancing and intend to do both for the rest of my life. I don't really believe in the word "retirement" because I would become bored. I like week end travels to Dance Festival in California Cities but will even go to other states some day. I have never had children but honor those women who have raised children. At this point in my life I am not looking to start a family and believe I would rather spend the money that would be spent on raising children on travel instead. I adore the idea of romantic weekends...such as taking the Amtrak Train to San Francisco...and dining on Fisherman's Wharf and then going out on the town to see live entertainment or go for cruises on the Bay. Going to a Contra Dance festival with my date would be heaven. Foggy Moon Festival in Monterey and Harvest Moon Festival in Santa Barbara come to mind. I love cooking and have a shelf in my kitchen just for recipe books. A lady who is handy in the kitchen would be swell. Potluck dinners excite me! At my age of 68, sexual activity is still important. I have no health issues and would like to meet a similar partner. I also believe that we are "Spiritual beings living in a physical body." If you relate to that statement, we need to meet.
