Hello... I'm a happy, active, good-natured, adventurous person who loves to walk. I also like to go to plays and concerts, art fairs, flea markets, garage sales, antique shops, travel and explore, canoe, kayak, sight-see, get together with friends for cards, movies, dining or talk. At my brother's house I play darts and pool; I enjoy them, but I'm not very good at either, and I've just begun taking tai chi. I also like to read, do crossword puzzles, work around the house, and work on projects together. I have been doing some volunteer work lately. I like nature and animals, although I am allergic to cats. I try to eat healthy, balanced meals, but everything in moderation, I do love ice cream.

I don't like the bar scene or casinos. I picked the choice that I drink socially, but it's actually very little - a glass of wine now and then. I grew up Jewish, but don't practice it now, and consider myself "spiritual not religious".

What about you, do you like any of the things I've mentioned? Shall we try some of them together? And I'm always ready to try new things. It is usually more important who I'm with than what I'm doing. I am looking for a man who is honest, trustworthy, kind, respectful, good-natured, slow to anger, compassionate, and active. And just to be fair, I am all of those also. I would like to get to know you, become friends, and see what develops.

As I write this, I am sitting on my porch listening to a gentle rain. It would be so nice to have you here with me to share this. If any of what I've written appeals to you or sounds like you, please contact me.

A first date should be something casual and public where we could start to get to know each other; perhaps coffee or a walk.
