My ultimate goal is to share and enjoy these later years with a lovely companion who has a softness of spirit.... to share the remaining joys of the days coming our way. Do you have a romantic orientation and would you thrive in a caring and devoted relationship?
I taught at the uniiversity for a ton of years - - had total involvement, immense joy and sheer delight in teaching (and annoying the administration -except when I rather turned into one for awhile) :) - and even got paid for it! I think maybe I retired to soon.

Classical music (for thinking) and easy listening (for dinner )are music favorites; grilled dinners and holiday festivities are also favorite things. I enjoy preparing meals and special treats. I appreciate good movies, the arts and listening to and watching people. Myers Briggs profile is INFJ most of the time. And I enjoy some board games such as Scrabble and the 3-D version and a little chess.

Every now and then I think about how quickly the years pass now. When I was 40 I had no idea that I would be where I am now...but it is comforting to realize that everyone else, too, is moving along with me and I am not alone in observing this time thing. I try to savor each moment now!
Maybe you might think a retired prof has more profound thoughts and things to say about this existence thing and I do sometimes (i.e. existential philosophy) but I quit when my listeners eyes glaze over. Small family but far away from Michigan.
My sister and I have had tons of fun over the years as we owned and operated a medieval/renaissance bookstore (Abbey Scriptorium) in Pennsylvania( for 22 years). Sadly she died recently and I do miss her a great deal. You can't imagine the delight we had at the store. ....we (you and me) both have our wonderful life experiences and memories...they makes us what we are....and I hope we can share them and enjoy them again. Please accept my invitation to write as I am look forward to hearing from you.
