REDEGRET444, 88
Most people take me to be 70-75 years of age, but I am a healthy, fit 88 ("Incredibly fit" in the words of my doctor). I am 5' 10" and weigh 158 lb., inquisitive, adventurous, compassionate, well-educated, and have a good sense of humor and a love of learning. I read a lot (Seattle Times, NY Times, New York Review of Books, several other magazines, science, history, biography, and occasionally a novel.) I have a wide range of interests - nature, science, current events, the performing arts, photography, and travel. I like the out-of-doors and used to hike and climb throughout the Cascades and Olympics, but I no longer backpack. I enjoy adventure and travel and exploring new places. I like dining out (and do so often), the theater (I go to six or more plays a year), concerts, (I have season tickets to one of the Seattle Symphony series.), opera, folk, jazz, and soft rock. I like good movies and am a member of SIFF. I am politically liberal but am respectful of others with different opinions that are based on thoughtful consideration. I am retired with a comfortable income. Like most scientists, I am an empiricist, and that in turn means I do not believe that there is a god that intervenes in the world's affairs.
