West Coast Swing, spirituality, my Calling(s), Renaissance Faires, movies! Conservation/Environmental stewardship, wildlife conservation/stewardship ..., pools, hot tubs, The Cliffs (in La Jolla, CA), sunsets, the water, the sun, warm breezes, summer, the girls of summer, women who dance, women who are comfortable in their skin, women who..., well, women. Oh, and singing...maybe I'm good, maybe I'm not...but it's fun!
Stuff I'm interested in, but don't know enough about: singing (I was in a Gospel Choir once...sang bass...Not sure if I'd fit better there or in Baritone, but... see? that's where knowing more + technique would be cool), performance driving, kung fu (I learned a tiny bit of Choy Li Fut), archery, horseback riding, sea kayaking, ...
I'd like to meet:
Cool people.... and maybe specifically about the dating side of things....
