Date men from United States / California / Santa Barbara, 70 year old

Date single man from Santa Barbara, United States. I'm not into navel gazing but I'm learning, so I needed help and a friend came up with this list. Curious, youthful, compassionate, caring, loyal, sensitive and nice. I enjoy many aspects of life and my passions include Art, good food, photography, meditation, sailing, reading and the newest is learning to swing dance. I always thought it looked really cool and it took me only 40 years to get over my shyness. Politically Liberal (serving in the military definitely steered me this way). Speak French, my native tongue, Flemish, quickly got run over when I learned English. I enjoy my work where I get to 'Rube Goldberg' stuff just to see if it works. And I enjoy play. I am open to friendship, companionship or more if mutually agreeable.

What makes me smile? The beginning of every day, brilliant orange or gray. I love meeting the people who I work with, I love my work and can plan my own time to enjoy life's adventures. I have a great sense of humor and can laugh heartily at my own folly.
