Date women from United States / California / Vallejo, 72 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I'm a voracious reader, an enthusiastic dancer, love classical music, jazz, Latin and folk. (Most other types of music, too, I guess, it's just that these are at the top of the list!) About jazz: I prefer the oldies: Stormy Weather, Georgia On My Mind, I Hear Rhapsody, no modern or improvisational jazz.
I workout daily at the gym, swim and go line dancing and ballroom dancing, zydeco, -all of it. I take lessons, join me? A fun evening!
Other passions include singing (anywhere, any time) when the notion hits me, time with friends, and food; I save salads for after the meal, European style, and travel - I've been travel-bug bit. A lifelong dream, now I'm doing it.
By the Way . . .
I let my hair go gray, to keep young cats away
And look all the graybeards over
ThereРІР‚в„ўs none I see, can keep up with me
Till this long prowl's over.
But the hornРІР‚в„ўs blast, and a sweet bass note
Keep my old heart rocking
IРІР‚в„ўll tap my foot, and sing along
Till the grim reaper comes knocking.
I fill my gut with Earl Gray tea
And an occasional glass of red
And think of the days, now hurrying by
When I, too, will be lying dead.
Before that time, IРІР‚в„ўll howl with the pack
And I dance right down the line
If you've a mind to give it a try
Who knows? It might work out fine!
Oh, I forgot to say, - I bait my own hook, swim like a fish, and do expert sheet-rock and plaster repair. Want to know more? Ask!
WHILE I WAIT FOR YOU: I swim, dance, eat carefully, exercise daily, enjoy music and shoreline hikes, explore museums, live performances, farmers' markets, and travel when I can. I can do all this alone, but I'm here to find a compatible soul to dance with mine. (Yours?)
I want everything in life that I lost with my mate's death: companionship, intimacy, communication, the sweet comfort of nearness, the magnificence of love. Who knows when or how you'll arrive, or the face you'll wear?
MY PERFECT MATCH: An easy-going man for intelligent conversation, redwood hiking, dancing, ice-cream licking, wordplay, and the midnight giggles. A gentle man who will not see different political or religious preferences as a source of discord.
You're honest. (Everyone says he is, but you really are! ) You're a bit of a romantic, you can see humor in most situations, but know when to be serious. Book lover? Music lover? Do you have dancing feet?
I hope our musical tastes overlap; I want to share my favorite local musicians with you. We''ll share families and multiply our pleasures. These will be the good times we share as we age. I want you by my side, my companion, my partner, the person with whom I will share my days and my nights. Perfection!
How will we meet?
WILL we meet?
How will we recognize the person inside, behind the face we show the world?
Share my journey through this part of life's maze. Anything can happen, depending on the elements you bring to the mix.
Let's meet and watch the shadows grow long.
