Hi! I am upbeat with a good sense of humor. I am told I have a nice smile. I keep fit through exercise. I have a youthful, enthusiastic appreciation of each day..
I feel that life is a gift and that there is magic in the simplest things...a Puccini aria, a Degas painting, nature, a smile.
I have 2 adult kids and 2 grand-children whom I love.
I am happy with my life as it is but would love to have someone to share the good and bad times. I love learning and am very interested in early civilizations; I love music...especially opera, jazz and standards. I enjoy watching the ocean, especially when it is stormy. I am not a couch potato.
I feel that you owe those you love the courtesy and respect you naturally afford strangers. I never take others for granted.
If you are intelligent, intellectual, around my age, active, young at heart and have a good sense of humor then perhaps we would get along well. Think it over....contact me.

A first date would most likely be a simple meeting for coffee and conversation. I am open to fresh ideas.
