Friendly, honest, retired lawyer gentlemen seeks a LTR with that special women who is caring, intelligent, loyal, and affectionate with a great sense of humor. She will be my best friend and I hers. I'm northern Italian 5'9 who stays active in community affairs, plays tennis, chess, guitar, and has authored two books. I like cooking, gardening, sports, and all the good things in life, but all of that means little unless you have the right person to share it with. Traveling, hosting a dinner party, going out with friends or having spontaneous gatherings with interesting people, or staying home watching a movie and ordering out are just a few of the many happy memories we will make together. I am excited in the anticipation of meeting someone who desires the same things as I do. Life is short, let's enjoy it together.
