All the paperwork says that I am 61, but even my high school students don't believe it. If you enjoy outdoor adventures, cooking in, shared laughter, dancing in the moment, conversation about most anything, affection, a quirky sense of humor . . . well, let me know.

I've not lived an ordinary life, but I think I'd like to find one now. I've traveled and had adventures and would be interested in more, but can be very happy without them. I like connecting through conversation and would be happy to spend time talking about any- and everything with an interesting and thoughtful person. I am honest and straightforward to a fault. When I care, I care deeply.

Caring, connection (on several levels) and companionship are very important to me as well as openness and honesty. I dislike flimflam and finagling and people who use subterfuge or manipulation to get their way. I hope to meet someone who is engaging, thoughtful, interesting, caring, and who can enjoy my offbeat deadpan humor.

Willingness and ability to give and receive affection in many ways are very important parts of any relationship. Conversations that last, covering anything and everything from deeply serious to lighthearted and filled with laughter can capture my heart. Could we dance in the kitchen? Hug just because we walked past each other? Smile at each other for no reason? Are you open to sharing your heart as well as your mind?
