BETSY10025, 68
I am an energetic, smart woman with a zest for life, looking for a very “young” senior to be my friend, fellow adventurer and, perhaps, romantic companion. By young, I mean someone like me who is physically fit, spirited and upbeat.
I enjoy long walks, learning new things, going to the gym, the theater, movies and museums, listening to live music, and just walking down the street absorbing the city's energy. I’m passionate about travel, to places both near and far. I love everything to do with the water—sailing, kayaking, dining beside it, cruising the Caribbean and even riding the Staten Island ferry.
Professionally, I am a writer, editor and boat captain. I freelance from my home office when I'm not out on the water. I read a lot, listen to NPR and watch Jeopardy, a couple of cop shows, news, and little else on television—I’d rather be out doing things.
I live on Manhattan’s West Side, and love my neighborhood. I have a happy, active life, with many good friends. But there is no special man in my life right now, and I would like that.
By the way, that is my miniature poodle, Nicky, in some of the photos with me. He is 16 1/2 years old and a cancer survivor (so far) and one of the lights of my life.
