I'm 63 years old and retired. Intelligent, funny, compassionate and affectionate. I do have some health issues which I am addressing fairly successfully including COPD and type 2 diabetes. I need a new picture because I've lost some weight.

I've led an interesting and varied life, and I'm a good listener. I've travelled to Tibet and was there on 9-11. I sang and played guitar in coffee houses beginning in the late 1950's. I was a wannabe beatnik in the fifties and early sixties, then a hippy and a radical in Ann Arbor and San Francisco areas. Went into the family business, manufacturing jewelry, in 1980. It eventually closed in the early nineties. Since 1994 I have been retired. Anything else you want to know, feel free to ask.

A coffee shop either in or outside a bookstore suits me fine for our initial rendezvous.
