Date women from Canada / British Columbia / Port Hardy, 58 year old

Date a woman from Canada. I am articulate, independent, and have an off-the-wall sense of humour. I am forthright to a fault but admire that quality in others. I enjoy a fine wine, or single malt and the compliment in companionship. Cultural, physical activities, and community connections are important to me. Although not a musician, music has always been part of my life; Benedictine chants, Blues (Ry Cooder), Country to SmashMouth and beyond. I've enjoyed my own space for quite a while and am now ready to share it (well, some of it; occasionally). I enjoy the outdoors and being in a tent during a rockin' thunderstorm. Feeling the warmth of the sun penetrating; waiting for the last drops to dry up. Hiking, canoeing, photography all fit. I have two daughters. They are unique individuals, very independent and add immensely to my life.You must be secure in your own skin and not looking for someone to be an adjunct to your personality or lifestyle. You are a witty, intelligent person who loves the English language (and knows how to use it), appreciates fine food and drink, and likes to cook. You like to read, dance, attend live theatre, and be willing to go beyond your own comfort zone. On the other hand, staying at home and and being quiet and comfortable with each other is nice too. You are someone who appreciates the beauty and solitude of nature. You know when to talk and when not to - and are comfortable with the silence. I prefer well-educated men with a wicked sense of humour and a down to earth approach to life.
