Date men from United States / California / West Los Angeles, 47 year old

Date single man from California, United States. Creativity / the arts, fitness, humor, and the oddities of language and how we communicate with each other are important to me. You don't have to share all my passions, but please be passionate about SOMETHING! :-)
Some quick facts:
I have a degree in English from UC Berkeley.
I earned a Private Pilot's license when I was 18 (!)
I’m a kidney donor –it’s one of the best things I’ve done in my life. If there’s ever a loved one in your life who you can help in this way, I can highly recommend it.
I play the pedal steel guitar (among other instruments). I think the pedal steel is the most beautiful-sounding instrument ever. (If you’re doing it right!)
I am a member of the UCLA Bruin Masters Swim Team.
I’ve played on several million-selling albums –and have the gold & platinum records on my wall to prove it! :-)
