It just took me 15 minutes just to get a "user name" I will come back to this latter.

I have just been advised that this description is too short and that I'll get more responses if I tell you all....I am very active in my city, I write for a local paper, I've finished walking in a one/half marathon, I love to travel and oh, I'm taking ballroom dancing lessons.
I also love the theater, the movies and anything to do with the arts.
I've been retired from real estate, have modeled, acted, and have been a secretary (but then who hasn't?)
I'm considered non-judgmental, fun loving and serious (sometimes by the same person) and full of life. I really don't like to fight. Have had enough of that. And perhaps you have too.
I'd like to add that it's important that whoever comes into my life knows that I will not try to change them. I expect the same courtesy.
As a PS you must love dogs.
Keep it simple. Maybe coffee and conversation. Then if we at least like each other, we can spend more time together.
