I am 62 years old in good shape and enjoy very good health, retired from Federal Service and enjoy the theater, museums and travel, I collect art and have been lucky enough to travel all over the world. I'm looking for a woman who is self-sufficient and who enjoys the same things that I do. I am looking for a partner to do all these things with, travel, go on cruises, visit art galleries and collect art. I have one daughter, she is grown and married and is the best thing that I have ever done or had anything to with, I am very proud that she is my daughter. By the way, on occasion I smoke a pipe or cigar. I have never smoked cigarettes.

That depends, lunch or dinner, first I think we have to email and see if we really want to meet, then talk on the telephone and find out about each other, meeting should be after we are confortable talking with each other, by then the first "date", meeting, whatever you call it, will not so traumadic.
