I am approaching a new period of my life and seek an equal partner to share the good as well as the not so good. I am an active professional involved in the legal and academic worlds and spend my lie in Westchester County, NY and the Berkshires where I also have a home. Golf is a new interest and I seek to develop my game.I am a father and grandfather and appreciate family values. I am not seeking to "adopt" a partner but to share and to provide for each other. I realize that at this stage of life we all have "stuff" and baggage and I [and you] must accept this and not get bogged down with it. The past only has the power to the extent that we confer power upon it. Nothing more.

Our first date hopefully will be one where we both will realize that a spark does exist and we know that there will be others down the road. The usual answer to this question is a walk on the beach in the rain but we both are smart enough to know that fantasy romance is a long way from reality. The first date should include a drink, some dinner and lots of good intelligent conversation.
