Live in Spokane, Wahington (eastern). I'm a 5'3", plush, 56 yr old P/T novelist/home improvement worker. Enjoy working on my home, watching movies, dining out, most all music (mostly blues), computers, writing, reading, Sci-fi, scenery, drives, fishing, boating, dancing, motorcycles, spending a lot of time with adult daughter (30 yr.), whom I am buying a house with, to make ends meets. Basically, I'm looking for an independent man who is looking for independent woman for a longterm relationship (and we don't even HAVE to end up living together), if all goes well. I could be quite comfortable with that. But it's nice to take it slow and be sure to become good friends first, to see where that takes us. I would like someone between the ages of 47-67, in general, but the closer to my own age the better. It would be nice if you had your own transportation, since I don't have time to taxi people, and it would show good responsibility on your part. I'd perfer a Christian, but you don't have to be heavy into it, just a good, basic belief would be nice.

Conversation over coffee or a soda would be a nice way to start, to get aquainted. Later, if we seem to get along well and might like another date, we could make a plan from there, together.
