Date men and women from United States / Colorado / Conifer, 55 year old

Date people from Conifer, United States. The musical begins in a little over an hour. The cast and crew are busy putting on costumes and makeup, getting the theater ready to open. I am the director of the show, and I am taking a minute to reflect on the accomplishments and challenges that have been overcome by cast and crew. I am excited and a little anxious to see how the audience responds. The calm before the storm of an opening night.
This is as good a description of me as I can think of. I am passionate, entertaining, artistic, successful, complicated, adventurous and open to new experiences. Life is a constant learning process, one I enthusiastically embrace. My friends tell me that I am compassionate and caring, but what do they know? I enjoy people, and also enjoy my private time. I have not spent enough of my time exploring the world and experiencing new things-something I plan to correct.
I have somehow fallen into my own heaven on earth. I direct musicals and theater for a local non-profit theater-a dream come true. I also give private voice and theater lessons in my home. Though not a perfect life, I feel like the luckiest man on earth.
My interests are varied. I live in the mountains and love the outdoors- hiking, biking and such. I like going to live theater events, both amateur and professional. I really like traveling and am refreshing my scuba certification. I like to see movies both at home and in theaters. I like to work with my hands and am always doing something around the house.
I am affectionate and enjoy close, meaningful relationships. I have been on my own now for a number of years and feel ready to find the right kind of person to share life with-if I only had a magic formula to make that happen. Trying something like match.com is so unlike me, but times change and what the hell. If I want something good to come into my life, I have to take some risks, right?
So here's to trying something new. Cheers!

Meet a man from Conifer, United States. OK, I've given in and joined an internet dating site. I have a fairly good idea who I am and the things I enjoy. For instance, if you like golf, we would definitely have something in common. Same goes for science. I also grew up with sports such as baseball, football etc. I love international soccer and went to South Africa to watch the World Cup for a vacationl. I have also traveled to exotic places such as Thailand, Singapore, Burma, Turkey, Afghanistan (of all places - great stories!) for work and adventure. I'm not afraid to travel alone but love to have company. I'm very independent and self sufficient. I put myself thru college (twice). I am not a victim and never will be. I believe in honesty, courage, and treating others the way I want to be treated. I like to find the humorous side to everyday life and will frequently say something that either makes you laugh out loud (or look at me funny, not all jokes work but I try). I love animals especially cats and well behaved dogs - that goes for kids too.
I would love find a lady who has some of the same interests and beliefs I just described. I tend to shy away from forceful, hot tempered persons of the opposite sex because it's just not good mix for me. I like women who take care of their bodies, like the fact they are female and are not afraid to show it.
