SILVERYLOX, 67
I consider these my main traits: easy-going, cheerful, intelligent, open & honest, caring & gentle, youthful in looks & spirit. A high level of curiosity is something I like about myself & appreciate in others. I love to travel, esp. to foreign countries, & to learn new things.
I'm currently enjoying a happy, healthy, & active retirement. I visit my kids & grandkids in NY & SF 2-3 times a year. Also have an annual reunion with my brother & sister, always in a new location.
In Austin, I dance 2-3 times a week (swing, tango, ballroom, country & western, etc.). It'd be great if you like to dance. If not, may I join you for biking or hiking? Or maybe tennis (I’d have to learn) or paddleball (maybe you could learn)?
I also like quiet pursuits—keeping up with world news, surfing the web, watching PBS (Nova, Frontline, Nature, Charlie Rose, and more)—and just thinking. Simple things excite me—an interesting conversation, a good movie, a new idea, talking to my kids & grandkids, hearing a great song, cooking & savoring a delicious meal. My latest passion is learning to play piano. I'm also teaching myself Chinese.
Other activities include volunteer teaching, & supporting efforts to have real science taught in public schools.
