I hope you're not disappointed if I forgo that list of adjectives about me and the laundry list of attributes I'm looking for in a partner, but as I've read hundreds of profiles I can't think of one where their lists told me half as much about them as how they wrote. If you can't tell I love to people watch and am a bit of a closet cultural anthropologist and this seems to be a great place to do field work. But, I am not here for field work. I like a lot of people here around fifty, find themselves coming to that crossroads of their lives where their years of building family and careers will be behind us. Instead, we are confronted with the probability of another thirty years of an active, healthy and enjoyable life and are really looking for the right person to share it with. So I guess this is the spot in the essay where those nasty lists go. But still I think I'll leave them out. Won't it give us something to talk about?
Although I lived most of my life in the Seattle area I now live in rural community in the mountains between San Diego and Palm Springs. If I had known how much fun it was to live in a small town I would have done it years earlier. As it's above 4,000 feet there are really 4 seasons and we do get at least some snow every winter.
