i recently retired from the field of Social Work and am delighted that I do not have to go to work anymore. Retirement has been wonderful. I play tennis twice a week and go to the beach often to swim or jump the waves in our beautiful ocean. I do work one day a week in my private practice and volunteer at the Queens Museum in the gift shop. I like to play golf, still learning but do enjoy playing at a pitch and putt. I travel to Florida and San Diego once a year to visit with family, spend time with my children and grandchildren. I would love to go to Italy, France, Spain just have not worked out the details. I own a one bedroom condo and would like to update my kitchen and also purchase some new furniture. I am grateful everyday for being healthy, having friends, not having to go to work. drinking my morning coffee in bed and reading the newspaper is a real treat. I like good music, Sinatra was my favorite but I like some contempary stuff, too. My favorite song is Imagine, John Lennon

The first date ought to be simple, perhaps meet for a cup of coffee get a conversation going and see if there is a connection.
