Date men from United States / California / Weaverville, 40 year old

Date single man from California, United States. I consider myself lucky to live the life I lead. I have a good job, a place of my own, and good health. My family (mom, dad, and brother) are in good health as well. I like to think that a good life is made up of the simple things.
However, there is no harm in exploring and trying new things. Simple is good, but the only thing permanent in life is change, so you may as well go with the changes. I would hope to meet a person who thinks along these lines. You don't need much to lead a good life. Good friends, good family, and good health. So are trying new things and being willing to accept change.
I have tried online dating before with no sucess. I am trying again and hoping for better this time. I am looking for friendship first but hoping for more than friendship over time. I am looking for someone to spend time with and get to know. Someone who is looking for friendship first but hoping for more, again over time.
I like to travel around Northern California and Southern Oregon. Road trips are the best!! You see so much more on the open road.
The coast is one of my favorite spots. So much to do and see. Biking and trail hiking are on my list for 2012, as well as taking walks around town. The holidays were not kind to me as far as staying in shape. lol
Thank you for looking at my profile. If you are interested, I hope to hear from you soon. If not, I wish you good luck on on your search.
Remember, the only thing permanent is change, so make every day count.
Because it does
